What would your average doctor know more about over training and cycling?
The title is misleading, because you don‘t give an answer!
Because there isn't a clear cut answer.
I think it was “go see a doctor” mostly
Please can you put the actual question in so I can get some context to what is being asked?
Because I had no other option, I had cycled to work for three years and I trained after the commute also in my free time. In October 2020 I realized that I was starting to overtrain. After two months I was able to save myself into homeoffice from Dezember until February. In March I had to start commuting again and at first everything was great and really challenged myself, until I realized that I started overtraining again in May. Only now there was no homeoffice to save me and I had to drive through until November with muscle pain and exhaustion until I literally fell off the bike.
In November I was able to switch to car and haven't cycled for 9 months now. I've had to walk a lot lately because I've started a new Job (what a surprise.... in an online bike parts shop) and I notice that I get sore muscles in the typical muscle regions you need for cycling. I have been to 4 doctors who have all told me that I should simply do less activity. It's just that I've done little to no physical exercise for 9 months and my blood values are excellent.
I'm also starting again with the typical symptoms of overtraining, only not from cycling but from leisurely walking. What can I do now to somehow get back on a healthy path? I have already accepted that I won't be able to ride a bike this year at all.
How r u doing now did u recover?
I'd love to know what doctors you are referring to? I'm 51 and have had quite a few in my life and can with full confidence tell you they would have no idea what "overtraining" was. Nor do I think a single medical school anywhere covers such a topic. I'm afraid overtraining remains a field of expertise in the bro science category.
how to know if you're recovered tho?
The months to years seems almost hard to believe without an underlying medical condition of some sort, I can be wrong and I am not a doctor but needing that much time off to just recover seems overblown and I am not trying to minimize over training. I firmly believe a large % of athletes fail to achieve their goals because they over train to some extent. I believed that for decades as I was involved strength training and competitive bodybuilding prior to cycling and in that circle over training is common place
It has happened. Alberto Salazar is the most notable example.
@@4879daniel really, is there any info on that. Sincerely I would like to check it out
How about the woman katka rusa a few years back who rode way more than even pro cyclist?how is she not overtraining?
no answer given.
A couple of days alternating between ice baths and saunas, you'll be back to normal in no time.
