1) Carbonfiberboy's post was great.
2) Take a week off. Seriously.
3) Get a plan.
3a) do some cross training.
Cross training can be anything from a long walk to Crossfit and anything in between.
3b) include 2 days off per week
3c) Periodisation is your new best friend.
3d) Do a long not hard ride once a week.
4) You want to maximise healing.
It's easy, but you won't do it. You need to eat an anti-inflammatory diet.
Basically, everything you want to eat is forbidden. dr Perricone had written about
this a lot, but the basics are simple. No sugar of any kind, or coffee. Tons of veggies
and low glycemic fruit. No starches. Fish 3 times a day, for you prob a 6 oz serving.
Google it.
5) Most multivitamins stink. This is what I take.

6) Omega 3 helps healing, the New Chapter Wholemega is a little better than the others.
7) A lot of guys that wind up overtrained need more sleep. Get your 8.
8) I think something that works your muscle mass and skeleton, weight lifting, backpacking, Crossfit, kettlebells, etc
makes me feel better, more alive. I suspect it stimulates hormone production.
9) I love this stuff, it works. A serving is about 1/4 - 1/3 oz Have them add some microlactin.
