Less is Better
I have found that with my body less is better. I was working out about 2 hours daily but lately I have only been working out about 1 hour 4 times a week and seem to be doing better. I think eating clean is the total key. Also, reading mags help me with more advanced techniques. I have only been running about a mile every other day.
Next week however I will start training for the half marathon on Monday. This will consist of running 3 miles every other morning and a long distance run on Saturday. I will still spend only 45 minutes to an hour in the gym 4 days a week. I am taking every set tofailure and throwing in several supersets and drop sets. I will probably lose some weight during this time but will try and eat my fair share of carbs to keep up the energy. Anyway, for you guys just starting out when people on the site tell you you are over training, you probably are.

Awesome to hear you found what works for you. I too was over traing, but I’ve also found that working out four days and resting one works well for me.
Good Luck
