This episode is all about the concept of 'deloading,' which is a period of training where you reduce the intensity of your workouts to prevent over-training syndrome.
Over-training syndrome occurs when your body cannot keep up with the damage caused by intense workouts, which leads to slower recovery, decreased performance, and a higher risk of injury.
I cover how to tell when your body needs a deload period by noticing the signs of over-training, which include:
- recurring aches and pains
- decreased performance during workouts or competitions
- feeling unmotivated to train
- feeling like you need more sleep or rest than usual
- tightness in the muscles that doesn’t seem to get better
- an erratic appetite (sometimes you feel super hungry, other times you may have no appetite at all)
- trouble sleeping (even though you feel tired all the time)
If you start to notice the signs of overtraining, consider planning a deload period in your training by reducing your workout intensity by 40-50%. You can even take a week off from training altogether (or longer, depending on the severity of your overtraining syndrome, you may need as long as a month to deload. This allows your body to heal and become resensitized to the training stimulus, leading to better gains in the long run.
