Just wondering how irritable others get when putting in heavy training? How do you cope at work and with family? I'm sure I have easier than some of you, since I don't yet have a family, but I've noticed I'm snapping at people a bit at work and social outings, which isn't cool. P.S., these auto-play ads aren't helping. Cheers.
It's called "over training".
Are you eating enough? Especially important to refuel directly after training.
Irritable is ONE sign of over training. Some others:
1. Inability to sleep
2. More frequent colds and sickness.
3. Frequent tiredness
4. Inability to reach VO2max.
It takes MULTIPLE symptoms to indicate over training or (more likely) over reaching. If you have multiple symptoms cut you volume by 50% for a week or two. If you do not have frank over training, you will recover quickly. If you do not recover in a week or so of reduced training, it can take weeks or months to recover if you push too far.
What causes over-training? Is it just too much intensity, or can one over-train by putting in more miles than usual. (Say 20 ish more than usual for 1-2 months)
Don't worry - it's just part of a cycle and related to high estrogen levels. You'll come around soon.
