<\/a>Last time on the Tailwind Coaching Podcast, I talked about the “High Intensity Trap”<\/a> and how your average Joe Sixpack cyclist can get in trouble with too much high intensity work. \u00a0I touched on some of the physiological benefits of high intensity training, factors that influence your training and recovery and the basic concepts behind physiological adaptations to training stress. \u00a0But that's only part of the story: what happens in your body when you overtrain? \u00a0How does your daily activity, daily stress and mental outlook factor into your daily training stress? \u00a0And what happens when you find yourself in the position where you're trying to build a lot of fitness in a little bit of time?<\/p>\n

On this edition of the Tailwind Coaching Podcast, I'll discuss:<\/p>\n

\n
• The physiology of overtraining.<\/span><\/li>\n
• The role that cortisol plays in adaptation and recovery.<\/span><\/li>\n
• How outside stress can push you over the overtraining edge.<\/span><\/li>\n
• Ways to combat overtraining\u00a0situations.<\/span><\/li>\n
• How I plan to avoid the “High Intensity<\/span>\u00a0Trap” with only 2 months to go until race season.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
