Getting sick
 

Getting Sick Easier

We all get ill and this cannot be put down to overtraining on its own, but it can most definitely play a part. Essentially, if you’re overtraining, your body is simply being run down and hasn’t had enough time to recover.

When your body is not performing optimally, it isn’t as strong physically and mentally, causing you to become ill quicker. This is a result of Cortisol (stress hormone) levels being too high.

When cortisol levels are too high it deactivates your body’s natural self-repair mechanisms leaving you vulnerable to every illness you encounter!
