Seriously, of course you're right. Even if you're interested in training to be as fast as possible (something alien to me), you can overtrain and do more damage than good. I agree with the others here. Push when and if you feel like it, but not to the point of pain.
PS: Anyone besides me shocked that the Rolling Stones have aged so well? Must be good genes.
