Suddenly it feels much harder

Mine today.

Also… My knees begin hurting, which is a much harder problem to deal with….

but it’s a long game that often falls apart when ramped up too quick or when too much intensity is mixed in. The red/green feature in TR can help prevent this (if not ignored), but learning how to listen to your body is an important skill to develop.

I find that my legs are usually game to keep pushing even when some of these overreaching signals are popping up. Sometimes it’s hard to back it down a bit when you are feeling strong at the end of the big block, but continuing to push can really set you back.

SO TRUE. And this is where the value lies in Red Light Green Light (RLGL). It acts like a check engine light: it is possible to keep going, but accepting the Adaptations prompted by RLGL will prevent long-term fatigue and keep your training on track.

I often find that my body speaks to me in many ways when I have overdone it. It could be another way that your body is asking you to slow down a little? If your fatigue persists, it might be worth heading to the doctors to get some blood tests done just to make sure there isn’t anything going on under the hood so to speak.

I hope that you continue to feel better .
