How to avoid over training

It is hard enough to get people to run or walk far enough for fitness and health but any distance is better than not moving enough. There is one problem that is usually not considered and that is running too far or too fast. For runners that are training to get a better PR in a race or put in enough miles to run a marathon, a condition termed ‘over training’ can actually hurt performance.

This is not an occurrence for a large majority of runners, but more for those serious runners trying to improve a time.

It is good to want to improve your running speed and oftentimes just the routine of a regular run will be enough to get you a faster time.
