When you train intensively, you do not always have the same energy or the same desire to train. It happens that the training of the day could be postponed for tomorrow ... Nevertheless, it is strongly advised to the athlete who wants results not to listen to this little voice that pushes him to agree some respite for a certain reason. On the other hand, the inten-sity of everyday training can sometimes lead to overtraining. At this time, it is advisable to go easy. How can we tell the difference between transient fatigue and overtraining?

First of all, if you feel tired, consider first in your life if there is not a concrete reason for this fatigue. If you have gone out the day before or if you have a moral blow following personal events, this fatigue is only normal. Similarly if you have insomnia or if you go out of a period of intense competitions.

If this fatigue persists despite the rest, then it is sometimes appropriate to slow down or lower the intensity. Slow down first, because you sometimes have to be wary of sensations felt before training. Sometimes you are wondering if you have done well to come to train, you begin your training without conviction, just by acquaintance, so as not to feel guilty for not having carried out training. However, as the session progresses, your sensations become better. It also happens that these sessions start badly and end in apotheosis and allow you to beat your records.
