Recovering From Overtraining

I’d avoid any high intensity work for those two weeks. I’d also avoid caffeine and sugar if you can. I was feeling horrible a few weeks ago and couldn’t figure it out. I realized that I was starting to have to much caffeine alone with a bit to much sugar. By simply cutting those two things out, I felt much better almost instantly.

I’d also consider completely changing directions. If you were lifting heavy, go the complete opposite way and lift for time and neural recovery. I’ll PM you a couple of good articles.

I don’t do caffeine. Ever. I don’t react well to it. Sugar is harder to avoid, but one of the things I have been pretty conscientious about is keeping a clean diet. I also find that diet has a dramatic, yet insidious, effect on how I feel.
