    Just as I was dusting down my bike after the winter hibernation, my wife brings home a leaflet (from the gym) on how to prevent ageing. In it, as well as giving up smoking and not drinking too much, it mentions over exercising as a cause of ageing. Now I'm struggling not to use this as an ideal excuse to put the bike away again, and grab the TV remote.

    Seriously though, what is "over exercising"?

    In bygone days our top athletes were unaware of this concept. Hence they trained like trojans and dominated the world in diastance running.
    This period passed sadly and now we have discovered "overtraining" and magazines and the internet is now full of articles telling runners to rest and not run when a little tired and when you do run make sure you have a litle bottle of water and your Ipod etc.
    Hence as Brits we can barely get invites to athletics meetings abroad so low is our standard, meetings that we used to dominate.
    Fortunately as a species this concept hasnt reached some continents and particularly Africa which is still pushing back the boundaries of human performance.

    All IMO of course

    The same way that fatuous posts on forums do.
