Read this article: http://www.physsportsmed.com/issues/2003/0603/hawley.htm Common warning signs of overtraining include: Washed-out feeling, tired, drained, lack of energy Mild leg soreness, general achiness Pain in muscles & joints Sudden drop in performance - Usual workouts feel more difficult (increase in training intensity) - Early fatigue during workouts (decrease in training capacity) - Increased heart rate even though not working as hard - Decreased strength - Decreased coordination Physical challenges seem too hard Insomnia Headaches Decreased immunity (increased number of colds, and sore throats) moodiness and irritability depression loss of enthusiasm for the sport decreased appetite increased incidence of injuries (especially overuse injuries but also tears and sprains) A compulsive need to exercise OVERTRAINING SYNDROME VS. OVERREACHING/TAPERING Overtraining syndrome should not be confused with overreaching. Overreaching, often referred to as tapering, is a planned period of heavy activity followed by a period of lighter training and rest. The concept behind tapering is to improve an athlete's short-term performance capacity through training and recovery. Continuing the heavy activity period during a taper can lead to overtraining syndrome. In general it takes quite a lot of consistent overreaching to arrive at overtraining syndrome. The closer you are to it the longer it would take of rest or active recovery to come back from it. In general, if you can take 4 to 7 days off or lower training and then come back better, then you did not really have "overtraining syndrome" yet. In some cases long term overtraining can lead to pernanent health consequences but it is a much overused or misused term on bb forums. |

That's DOMS...delayed onset muscle soreness. Quite normal and nothing to worry about.
