Does Excess Training Lead to Mental Decline?

Runner's World reported on an interesting study that measured effectiveness on mental tasks after a hard couple of weeks of training. No surprise, effectiveness goes down. But it's nice to see it returns during the taper!



Good to factor in on that training plan. ;-)

  2. My brain is pretty fried in the peak training weeks, so it felt like it made sense to me. But that may just be time mgmt too, since I often end up doing 18 hr days to fit it all in.
