Hank nailed it.

You'll also likely observe the following:

1.) Joints aching
2.) Feeling "shaky" once you get into the 90th percentile stuff
3.) Tough getting out of bed in the morning

Especially once you hit the dreaded 40... :)

do you supplement to correct or build up your CNS or is it just a matter of resting ?

Is this another way to describe being over trained because there are striking similarities of your description.

thanks

That helps, yes. You want lecithin granuals here, IMO. BIU! is also a solid addition in recovering the CNS, which is why I favor it so much for cruise coming off your Feast PR's..

All of the above symptoms will present as signs of over-training. Your body will speak to you.... listen to her.

Because she's one of the few women that won't lie to you... :)
