While overtraining can cause a multitude of symptoms such as elevated morning heart rates and inability to complete training ride, however, is it possible that stress can appear as overtraining rather than be the cause of it?
If so, then has anyone had to deal with such and what was the most effective method you used to overcome stress?
Cheers 🙂
take a break!
The best way to overcome stress is via your cycling. Whenever I'm stressed I get on my bike and as far away from motorists as possible so I have a stress free ride.
If I ever have one of those really bad days at work when things seem to be going against me, I reach for the bike and off into the hills. The sense of total desertion, the smell of sheep-manure, the sound of your bike creaking up some god-forsaken hill in the middle of no-man's-land tends to make all other problems and stresses fade.
