Symptoms Of Overtraining

Excessive Fatigue

Fatigue for a few days after a serious workout can be expected at times. Also known as the feeling of heavy legs, fatigue is a state of weariness that persists. It will accumulate, rather like sleep debt in individuals who push their endurance in wakefulness and rack up a penalty of missed sleep, in bodies that simply do not receive the chance to recover fully from workouts of the recent past. In addition, chronic fatigue can lead to a state known as low energy availability, in which the body is consistent in pulling energy from its stores such as protein, carbohydrates, and fat. Too little fueling or too much training can lead to this state. Excessive fatigue can complicate other symptoms of overtraining, such as moodiness and depression.
