Haven't lost motivation just knackered.
So - do you think its best to have a week off or just reduce the training for say the next couple of weeks.
No training vs. reduced training for a longer time?
Got 1st OD in 11 weeks.
Don't think it's overtraining just tired

you got plenty time to train. Better to be 1% undertrained than 10% overtrained.
On one of my sprints I was feeling like, posted a similar thread. Took a week off and hit a PB!!
Not saying that will happen but the benefits from resting properly are well documented on the forum
I've got first OD in a week and a half and am seriously lacking motivation!
I got a heavy cold just before FGS sprint at Dorney lake on the 28th June, but competed anyway and still don't think I've fully recovered, but due to time I can't afford to rest up much! Doh!
Wishing you a speedy return to full steam!
Take some time off, i know how you feel but you got to be aware that recovery is training as much as training is...just dont be recovering for 2 weeks infront of the telly eating chinese food...
THink i'll have a few days off and come back revitalised!!
God know how i'm going to feel when going for 70.3 next year.....
Instead have an easy week. Just halve the volume of each session you would normally do & take an odd day off. Focus more on technique rather than power & speed.
During the rest of the season make every third or fourth week an easy week. Write it in your diary & stick to it. If every third week I'll reduce that weeks volume by a third, if every fourth week then by half. The bounce back is always a great motivator.
Remember: Training makes you tired, recovering makes you fit.
