Maybe it was because I woke up this morning tired, achy and a little cranky that I come across the topic of overtraining. I have been guilty of this and good things don’t come of it. I don’t have that and I am not aware of any other syndrome going on at the moment and yes, I realize denial is the first sign. By the way, when did we start having all these new maladies called “syndromes” and then broken down to their initials, like CFS?

Overtraining can happen to elite athletes and to the exercise-obsessive rest of us. I have had it as a runner and a skater and bordered on it at times doing Crossfit, though never to the degree examined in this article on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

The article is from Active.com where they primarily cater to runners, cyclists and triathletes, who coincidentally are the folks most likely to overtrain in the first place.
