I’ve always made a habit after i work out to eat protein and drink a glass of water with a fresh squeezed lemon!

I continue with weights but cut my cardio in half or less. Trying to do intervals though.
One way to figure out if exercise is hurting you is to take your temperature before exercise and then a few minutes or so after. If the temp. goes down, maybe you’ve over done it. My temp. today was low, as usual, and then dropped to 95 after exercise. Oops.

I used to exercise way too much. I was just over doing it. Over the past few years i’ve really worked at becoming “BALANCED” in life. I’ve learned that not over doing results in less stress.

Mark, i’m excited about your upcoming book, i’ll definitely be looking for it!!!!

I think this would create a risk for ‘chronically-trained’ marathoners when hanging out in crowds of infected public at airports, on the plane, and at the pasta party, runner’s expo, and awards banquet.

Weights, sprints, and morning walks keep me strong as an ox. Never really looked into crossfit… what type of training do you do?

I absolutely agree, when i’m training hard I make sure to take Echinacea and Olive Leaf Extract.
I’ve literally felt my immune system drop after consistent heavy training, and it’s a terrible feeling.

Crossfit anyone?

Ooooh! You are writing a book? I’m very excited about this! Post more details when it is available for purchase!!

And I do understand your point about too MUCH exercise. After all, your cardio diet literally worked wonders for me and I preach your gospel at my gym on a regular basis:)

Thanks for clarifying in your comment – that’s not what I got from my initial read of this post but I get it now.

I get this from all my endurance buddies all the time. “Why are you ragging on exercise?” Well, I’m not. But I AM saying that too much exercise – even or especially if you are an elite athlete – comes with a cost. Maybe taking more antioxidants can help. But the bottom line is that too much of a good thing can turn bad. The “Primal Blueprint” suggests that we spend more time doing low level aerobic stuff and occasionally brief periods of intense bursts of speed, along with some weights. These rowers were what I call “chronic trainers.”
I actually have book coming out in Aprilish that will detail all this new info.
