I've trained everyday since last sunday, I'm due to fight next week at 64kg and this morning I weighed in at 65.1kg, but I can't get the nagging feeling that I'm cheating myself by not running today. My body is saying I need a rest (bit of a sore throat, tired) but my head is making me think I'm the worst person in the world by resting! I imagine a few of us go through the same?
yeah i used to do the same thing, magically thinking id become unfit if i didnt train, just plan something else to do on the day or force yourself to rest then when you get back to training the next day you will see the advantages of rest.
I get that same feeling of 'ill lose all my fitness if I don't train'. The first hour of being up I was driving myself mad about not training, now relaxed about resting. Looking forward to seeing the effects tomorrow.
It's seeing the results that come after resting and seeing what over training can do that makes me want to rest. I know my progress will be better when I rest.
