We'd have to sacrifice some stuff but I think if DH comes back into it and we keep adding it maybe could be arranged.

So I saved "Working Class Hero" till this morning. What an excellent article. I can't tell you how refreshing it is to read that kind of realistic take on training. I agree times one hundred.

Many times we focus on what we CAN'T instead of what we can. Nothing more defeating than that.

You know, DH was saying about how you may tend to do, as per his example, 4 days a week becasue everybody says you must, etc. I've made a comment a few times about considering the "box" someone is in when you here their advice. Whoever "everybody" happens to be, many times, their opinions on how you should train can say more about them than it does about you. Always keep that in mind.

BTW, something I meant to point out about overtraining but forgot to is that the great majority of research on it is in regards to aerobic and endurance activity. People love to carry on about the effects of high intensity and act like it is something that is completely understood but it is barely even begun to be understood in depth. Most everything is theory and as far as CNS intensive "overtraining" there really is not much research on it at all and what little there is..well, the studies fail to actually illict a discreet overtraining "syndrome". I put in a whole bunch of sources.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
