I think over-training is always a risk when following an ambitious, rigid plan. It took me a long time to realise that it’s okay to miss a session or tame it down as necessary.
This reminds me to try to stay cognizant of what it feels like to overtrain. The only time I remember feeling overtrained was when I was a pianist in my youth, which is very different. Any tips on what I should be on the lookout for, particularly as someone who's on the bike 5-6 days per week?
