Am I overtraining?
True overtraining syndrome is uncommon, but under-recovery and excessive fatigue are common. If performance is down for multiple sessions, motivation is unusually low, sleep is poor, resting stress feels high, soreness lingers, and normal weights feel heavy, fatigue may be outpacing recovery.
Look at total stress, not just workouts. Training volume, intensity, diet, sleep, job stress, illness, alcohol, life events, and low energy availability can all stack together.
The first move is usually a deload, more sleep, more food if dieting intensely, or reduced training stress. If severe fatigue, mood disturbance, illness, or unexplained symptoms persist, talk with a clinician.
