Reply With QuoteSome people believe that "overtraining" doesn't even exist. From personal experience, I know that I get a cold - guaranteed - if I train for more than 12 weeks without taking at least one week off. My resting pulse (normally between 48 - 56) begins to rise dramatically from the seventh week of hard training on (over 70). So I take one week off after week 6 to play it safe. I think the longer you need to recover the easier it is for you to overtrain.

overtraining and recoup time
just wondering, and this question probably answers itself, but does the time it takes you to recoup from a workout dictate how easy you can overtrain?

when i purposely overtrained in the tp-pt program(i was a tester), it was hell. my muscles got to the point where they didnt even hurt, or get sore, but my bones and jounts hurt, i had headaches, and was always tired. its really hard to overtrain, but its possible. oh and i also got sick and caught pnemonia

Yes, insufficient recovery => overreaching.
