I’ve had a sneaking suspicion that I’m overtraining. I started thinking that I needed to build more muscle which would in turn use more energy and I would lose body fat… but it didn’t quite work out like that. I didn’t change body fat (at least there were no visible changes to my eyes), I was eating more, and feeling tired while exercising.
I started wondering a bit if I was overtraining after working out 5 days in a row, having one rest day and then another 5 in a row (in addition to walking at least 2kms most days). Seems obvious in retrospect huh!
I’ve decided to not exercise more than 3 days straight and do some more sprinting. It’s winter, however, and the cold air hurts my chest when I sprint outside so I’ve started sprinting up and down the stairs in my apartment building. Anything goes really in the paleo lifestyle 
.
Has anyone else fallen into this trap? What’s the longest you’ve gone without taking a break from training?
