Is Overtraining the Cause of Fatigue?

Question
Robeert
Since Xmas I have been working out almost daily(weights/cardio) and playing rec. hockey twice a week.
On top of my job and family life.
For the past two weeks I have felt BONE tired-could barely get through my workouts and hockey was sub par.
I went for a checkup but everything was OK.
After I forced myself to spend most of last weekend on the couch I feel somewhat better.
Could I have some kind of virus,or am I just over training?

Answer
when you said you had a checkup, I assume you had some blood work including a complete blood count (cbc) and thyroid tests... yes, could be a virus... it does sound like you are working out a lot... unless it is mono, a virus usually doesn't last this long... I would back off the training for a few days and if not better, revisit the doc...
