THREE Simple Tips to Avoid Overtraining | Ep 487

The "more is better" mentality is very common amongst triathletes, but often causes more problems than it solves. If you've ever experienced the feeling of overwhelming fatigue, and "easy" training sessions feeling anything but easy, you're most likely a victim of overtraining. This video is a must watch for you! We dive into the importance of recovery - the most overlooked and valuable aspect of a triathlete's training program, and why you simply won't make the performance gains you're capable of if you don't plan and allow yourself adequate recovery time. We also explain how measuring your HRV (heart rate variability) helps ensure your training is focused only on what your body is capable of absorbing, and the dangers of trying to fight the signals your body is sending you. And finally - the dreaded "GREY ZONE" of training - avoid this at all costs! * * * * * * * * SPONSORS * * * * * * * * Like what you heard in this show?
