Common signs of over training

Overtraining can lead to a range of physical, psychological, and performance-related issues. Here are some common signs of overtraining:

Persistent Fatigue: Constant tiredness or feeling drained, even after a good night's sleep.
Decreased Performance: A drop in running performance, slower times, or difficulty completing workouts that were previously manageable.
Increased Perceived Effort: Routine exercises feel more challenging than usual.
Frequent Illness: Increased susceptibility to colds, infections, and other illnesses due to a weakened immune system.
Muscle Soreness and Pain: Persistent or unusual muscle soreness that doesn't go away with rest.
Mood Changes: Irritability, anxiety, and depression can result from hormonal imbalances caused by overtraining.
Sleep Disturbances: Trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or experiencing restless sleep.
Loss of Appetite: Reduced desire to eat, potentially leading to weight loss.
Increased Resting Heart Rate: A higher-than-normal resting heart rate, indicating stress on the body.
Hormonal Imbalances: Changes in menstrual cycles for women, reduced libido, or other hormonal irregularities.
Prolonged Recovery Time: Longer than usual recovery times between workouts.
Mental Fatigue: Difficulty concentrating, lack of motivation, and mental exhaustion.

Recognizing these signs early and taking steps to recover—such as reducing training intensity, ensuring adequate rest, improving nutrition, and seeking professional guidance if needed—can help prevent more serious consequences of overtraining
