I've been training hard lately, 6 times a week for the last 4 weeks getting ready for a fight at the end of May. I feel like a hit a wall the last few days, I'm struggling to get up a flight of stairs without feel labored and despite the fact I've gotten 9+ hours of sleep the last couple of nights I still feel exhausted. Unmotivated to train and I look pale and have bags under my eyes. I am over trained I can tell and I took a couple of days off last week hoping it would help me recover but it seems to have caught up to me again. How do I get over this quick? I don't want to lose many more days of training. I took my resting heart rate and it was 68 bpm. I don't know what it usually is but for a 34 y/o male whos been training hard 6 days a week for the past month or so and who was in pretty good shape already it should probably be lower? I know elevated resting heart rate is supposed to be a sign of overtraining. Any help would be appreciated.
