"overtraining" as you describe it is very different than the training described in the study. Proper training includes rest and recovery. The average athlete who does structured training might only do 2 hard workouts a week because to dig deep and get the desired physiological adaptations from those workouts, one has to be well rested. Going too hard too often leads to "overtraining" and exactly what you experienced - it's a major setback and can actually be kind of tricky to bounce back from. Interestingly enough, your own pulse can provide feedback injury, illness, incomplete recovery, etc. it's also a great way to measure and monitor improvements in fitness, which is why so many folks use heart-rate monitors to train - both during exercise and recovery. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
