How do I know when I'm over training? Obviously I'll be sore and tired for a while, but how long should I keep it up before I decide that I'm burning out or getting better?
When you're to the point that you find yourself wanting a small plate of fruit and veggies for lunch instead of a brat, you've been overtraining.
