Could YOU be overtraining?

Overtraining, defined as training excessively or not recovering from training sufficiently, can affect performance and be a big risk factor for future injury and illness. However, being aware of signs and symptoms of overtraining early can help mitigate risk, preserve performance and keep you or your child active and able to compete in their sport or activity. Sometimes it creeps up on us and before we know it, we have an injury, pain or illness as a result. Early intervention and knowing what signs to look for can greatly increase recovery and reduce risk of injury, if you know what to look for. Rob Kirkby takes us through some common signs of overtraining to watch out for.
