Overtraining

i found this article reading through Men's Health and i find it useful for runners like us..

[Start]

How do you know if you're nearing the threshold of over training?
When your performance takes more than a fortnight to return to its original level even after rest, it's time to cut back, say Dr Ben Tan, head and senior consultant sports physician at Changi General Hospital. "Over training occurs when the training volume is so high that the body can't recover adequately," says Dr Tan. Other symptoms to look out for include insomnia, loss of appetite, weight loss, an increased resting heart rate and recurring illness. However, these factors still can't conclusively differentiate between the fatigue you regularly feel during a workup and over training, says Dr Tan. Even physical gauges such as the VO₂ max test and blood tests "have not been found to be consistently accurate", he says

Last min training...

hey guys..
As you all may know, I been over trained for the past few weeks. Been forcing myself to complete 22km of run within a month for my Standard Chart Marathon. I never learn my lesson. For the Army Half Marathon i only did a 15km run and head off to the race. During the Army Half Marathon, my mental nearly break down. It's the result that pull my interest back. Being confident, I aim to complete my next 21km race below 2 hr. It is good to have a goal. For me, I did set a goal, but i did not get myself started. In fact i start training late and was rushing to complete the work up that I had plan myself, i did not even ask coach about it. It is a good thing that I did not get injure and still being able to attend the Standard Chart Marathon Race. Got to go easy on the race. Never never follow my foot step.
