The TrainingBeta Podcast: A Climbing Training Podcast Ask Kris 007 :: Are You Overtraining?
This week, in our seventh mini episode of Ask Kris, we talked about the signs and symptoms of overtraining, and how much rest people really need.
Here's what we talked about:
- What overtraining looks like
- How long you should feel tired after starting a training program
- The emotional effects of training and overtraining
- Sugar cravings, hunger, and overtraining
All of the programs that Kris wrote for trainingbeta.com have rest built into every 6-week cycle so that you don't and overtrain. He knows all too well that not resting enough creates injuries, exhaustion, and burnout.
In each 6-week cycle, you actually do 5 weeks of training and 1 week of active resting (meaning, you don't take the entire week off if you don't want to - you just don't train hard during that time).
If you want 3 complete workouts every week to get you stronger and help you stay injury free, check out our bouldering training program or our route training program.
