overtraining what is that?
Overtraining for short is a state of the body where it ceases to get any improvement when subdued with stress.
In other terms lose of fitness.
It happens when the individual's stress is greater than the body's ability to recover.
Remember that it is during rest when the body regenerates and super compensates to improve.
Training stress only increases the potential to improve.
Overtraining also affects an individual psychologically.
It can make one quit the sport or take a long and extended vacation from it.
It can also cause one to end up wasting too much money in buying free speed and motivation from exotic bike components.
Take care of yourself not to overtrain.
We would still want to see you riding on the road in the next three years.
Don't cheat yourself and undertrain for we don't want to see you on the road and leave you behind.

TREATMENT: (from wiki)
Treatment is generally allowing more time for the body to recover:
* Taking a break from training to allow time for recovery.
* Reducing the volume and/or the intensity of the training.
* Suitable periodization of training.
* Splitting the training program so that different sets of muscles are worked on different days.
* Increase sleep time.
* Deep-tissue or sports massage of the affected muscles.
