Pushing your limits is great...until your body starts pushing back.
If you’re experiencing any of these, it might be time to dial it back a notch:
🚩 Constant niggles or lingering soreness
A little muscle fatigue is normal. But if every run feels like you’re one step away from an injury, your body is begging for recovery.
🚩 Your easy runs never feel easy
Easy runs should feel ✨ easy ✨. If you’re struggling through them, your training load is likely too high. Or your recovery time is too low.
🚩 You’re more exhausted than energised
Training should make you feel stronger, not like you need a nap 24/7. Chronic fatigue is a sign you’re doing too much.
Overtraining isn’t a flex. It’s a fast track to burnout or injury.
Listen to your body, adjust your training (I can help with this!) and remember that rest is part of progress.
