Signs of Overtraining and How to Avoid It
Overtraining symptoms include: persistent fatigue, declining performance, irritability, sleep disruption, and frequent illness. These differ from normal training fatigue which resolves with a day or two of rest. Prevent overtraining by taking scheduled deload weeks every 4-8 weeks, sleeping 7-9 hours, and eating enough to support training. Remember: progress happens during recovery, not during the workout itself.
