Overtraining occurs when the volume and intensity of your training consistently exceeds your body’s ability to recover, and the signs are often subtle at first before becoming more significant. Common indicators include persistent fatigue that does not resolve with rest, declining strength or performance despite consistent training, disrupted sleep, increased irritability or mood changes, frequent illness, and a loss of motivation to train. True overtraining syndrome is relatively rare and takes sustained periods of excessive training to develop, but functional overreaching, which is a milder and more common form of the same issue, can happen to anyone who pushes too hard without adequate recovery. Having a coach at NHANCE manage your training load is one of the most effective ways to prevent this because your program is designed to challenge you without chronically depleting you.
