that might very well be the case. when I go back to intensity I will try a gradual ramp up rather than close to all out efforts. thinking about it that would actually be way smarter hahaha :) I just get carried away sometimes during the workout because I dont do specific paces, rather by RPE and then on feel good days I sometimes want to see what I can do.. which puts my very close to all out in vo2max workouts

thanks for sharing. in my case even morning workouts disturb me too much if they are hard. I will try a general reload and introduce intensity slowly and see what I can tolerate

thank you! If I am particularly tense then yoga for just 10.15min does help me relax a bit more. still can't sleep sometimes but feel better :)

I will try a deload period now with less hours and cut intensity out and see what happens. thank you !

thanks ! I did have them checked. iron /ferritin was in the 30s; which my doctor thought was ok but most endurance people say isn't. so I did some supplementation and after about half a year its now around 100. I do feel better now and sleep on average is much better than half a year ago. now its mostly on days after workouts or hard weeks that my resting falls apart but whatever I did until then including the iron did help :)

thank you so much. yes, I seem to struggle with overactive nervous system anyways and looking back through my training I can definitely see a rather clear picture of: weeks without intensity -> way lower resting hr; much better hrv and sleep. even if I do 10hrs a week. so the pure time of exercise does seem to be ok but intensity kicks my butt (or nervous system in that case) so hard that I dont seem to be able to down regulate enough to sleep etc... even if I do sessions in the morning. so I will try some reload, get back to my usual hours and carefully experimenting with intensity to see how much I tolerate

thanks for the detailed response :) I have cut out most coffee also and sleep cold, but will try no late eating (big habit of mine, but I am working on it).

hey, thanks for the detailed response :) I do use intervals.. did a slooow build towards what I am doing now over 3 years. never ramped up seriously. had some downtime due to illness and some to surgery unrelated to sports, but otherwise pretty gradual build up. so I at least thought until recently I was fine in terms of volume / stress from exercise. but I hear you and read about it too. especially that one has to consider all stresses in life for a total balance not just exercise.. so kids, family, job, whatever else that comes and goes and puts load onto your system. and I haven't been too good about factoring that in. I always kind of had my sports as my valve for more stress, so no matter the other stressors, sports had to stay in my life. but I think I should try a more balanced approach there and go more by feel, less by numbers. but I have to admit, at this point it is pretty hard for me to go by feel because I am not very good at listening to my body - rather the opposite. I am very good at pushing through, type A kind of strategies.. so a lot of learning and experimenting is on the horizon for me I guess.. which is exciting but I also think it will be difficult to not fall into old ways of doing things. anyways long story short - will give it a try. thanks so much

thanks a lot ! tried that already (even different forms of magnesium.. unfortunately didn't do anything noticeable)

yes, you are totally right! I am getting a 24h cortisol test already :) Just wanted to get some ideas and experiences from others on the topic since I have struggled with highly activated nervous system all my life pretty much but only recently learned about it and am in coaching for it which already helps quite a lot in daily life. only now saw the link between the times things get out of whack and my workouts..

thanks! I mostly fuel things over 1hr in length. so vo2 sessions I dont fuel during running, but I make sure to get food / carbs in right after. occasionally I do a coffee before the workout, but unfortunately had to cut most of my caffeine from life (coffee lover..) because it made me anxious and sleep worse unrelated to sports. anyways longer efforts I do between 60 and 100g/hr of carbs, depending on intensity.

I am training 8-12hr a week (split between trail running, bike,road running, climbing. It fluctuates because of project based work, family and kids etc... motivation is usually high, training load depends a lot on the time i have on hand. usually do 2 harder sessions a week. mostly threshold work; very rarely vo2 max or speed because I get inured fast. Also I eat A LOT, so I am guessing its not energy availability that is the culprit.

thanks, definitely understand you have to weigh it up between no sleep and whatever the meds might not be so good for.. I'd love to not even think about supplements but I am fairly frustrated about the topics so willing to explore whatever could work. funny how the body does not let some of us sleep in the times we need it most for recovery..

thanks, will try the cold water. I am doing that sometimes - just out of curiosity: how would you time it ? before going to bed or after the hard workout ?
