Rest and Overtraining ...

The biggest battle people seem to face when in Belgium is either doing too much or too little training during their time here. For everyone out there it’s different, some can handle and thrive in hours upon hours of long riders, others need specified training and scheduled racing and even others do well just killing themselves with tons of racing and then a bit of rest to peak. It’s best to find out what kind of methods work best for you before you come to Belgium, but do realize it’s a different game in Belgium, so you may need to adapt your ways some, even if proven in racing in your country.

Be sure to monitor your weight, morning heart rate, blood pressure, sleep patterns and other factors you find useful. These variables will help you determine and recognize the patterns in your health and fitness.
