Over Trainning-60 Days to Go


How do you know if you are over training?
Things start to hurt
(Back in PT?)
Yup

(What is it this time?)
Scare tissue on the knees.

(Is that damaging?)
No it is the result of over training.
(What do you do for that?)
Rub, rub, rub, the scar tissue out.

(Scar tissue?)
Tendonistis

Add some electric sten.
(What is sten?)
Electrodes that massage the muscles
(How do you know if you are going to be ready?)
You don't, you just have to trust that you have done enough preparation
(In the past this approach has worked)

At this stage I would like to swim 2.4 miles 3 times a week, Bike 112 miles once a week and run 10 miles twice a week. I can do all of these things, but I will ache so badly afterwards that I will not be able to train for two weeks.
(So what do you do?)

At this stage it is more about maintaining and not injuring.
I swim 1-2 times a week
(45 to 90 minutes depending on how much time I have)

I bike every Sunday
(85-100 miles depending on how much time I have)

I run 3 miles
(Because more than that will aggrivate my tedonitis)


and I ice...a lot.
