Ever pushed yourself to the limit?

No, you're wrong. What you're talking about is called over reaching, not over training. Over training takes months to achieve, and consequently, can take months to recover from. A week of overdoing it can be recovered from within days, hence it is over reaching.

Wtf... I just finished taking a couple of sport science courses...and my SPSC coach never talked about the difference between overtraining/overreaching.... I mean....the term Overtraining is generally used amongst bodybuilders or those involved with sports...i've never heard the term Overreaching to be honest.. but i'll take it as it is.

I did that everyday until it became easy for me! When you are that fit do NOT stop ever, or you will have to go through the pain of builing up your fitness again. It feels good to be superfit and to stay that way.
