A medida que crece la comunidad de ultramaratonistas y las grandes distancias se convierten en algo habitual, parece que cada vez m\u00e1s personas se embarcan en el viaje \u201cdel sof\u00e1 a los 100 km\u201d.

Los signos reveladores del sobreentrenamiento incluyen una disminuci\u00f3n del rendimiento, aumento de la inflamaci\u00f3n, mala calidad del sue\u00f1o, n\u00e1useas, reducci\u00f3n de la motivaci\u00f3n, disminuci\u00f3n de la fuerza, tensi\u00f3n, fatiga por el entrenamiento, aumento de la frecuencia card\u00edaca, reducci\u00f3n de la funci\u00f3n del sistema inmunol\u00f3gico y sensibilidad muscular\/articular.<br\/>\n<br\/>\u00a0<br\/>\n<br\/>Entonces, \u00bfcu\u00e1nto es demasiado? La respuesta (insatisfactoria) es: depende. <strong>La gesti\u00f3n de la carga es muy individual.<\/strong> Y lo que se considera sobreentrenamiento para una persona puede ser perfectamente manejable para otra. Y aunque se ha observado un aumento notable del riesgo en personas que corren m\u00e1s de 15 horas a la semana, los corredores principiantes pueden encontrar que 5 horas a la semana producen un resultado similar.<br\/>\n<\/div>\n   <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- row text single -->\n<div class=\"gradientnone\">\n<div class=\"row rowSingleColumnWide spacing\">\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div class=\"textStyle_2b\" ><br\/>Evita el sobreentrenamiento mediante <strong>Aumentar lentamente la carga de entrenamiento a lo largo de semanas, meses y a\u00f1os.<\/strong> Escucha a tu cuerpo y dedica tiempo a recuperarte adecuadamente centr\u00e1ndote en los cinco conceptos clave que se indican a continuaci\u00f3n:<br\/>\n<br\/>\u00a0<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Dormir<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Dormir entre 7 y 9 horas por noche es ampliamente reconocido como el <strong>El aspecto m\u00e1s importante de la recuperaci\u00f3n.<\/strong> Durante este tiempo, el cuerpo trabaja duro para reparar y reconstruir los m\u00fasculos mediante la s\u00edntesis de prote\u00ednas y la hormona del crecimiento humano. A medida que aumenta el volumen de entrenamiento, tambi\u00e9n lo hace la necesidad de un sue\u00f1o profundo y reparador. En las semanas de alto volumen, dedique m\u00e1s de 8 horas al sue\u00f1o y, si es posible, mantenga su dormitorio fresco y oscuro.<br\/>\n<br\/>\u00a0<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Nutrici\u00f3n<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Aportar al organismo la energ\u00eda, las prote\u00ednas, las vitaminas y los minerales necesarios contribuye directamente a la recuperaci\u00f3n y favorece la calidad del sue\u00f1o.<\/strong> Si te faltan calor\u00edas, hierro o prote\u00ednas, por ejemplo, resulta dif\u00edcil que los m\u00fasculos se recuperen por completo. Cuando el volumen de entrenamiento es elevado, aseg\u00farate de incluir una variedad de frutas, verduras, prote\u00ednas (de origen animal o vegetal) y cereales integrales. Una nutrici\u00f3n de calidad puede ayudar a reducir la inflamaci\u00f3n y ayudar a tu cuerpo a soportar el estr\u00e9s f\u00edsico.<br\/>\n<br\/>\u00a0<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Hidrataci\u00f3n<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>El agua ayuda a <strong>regulan la temperatura corporal, suministran energ\u00eda a las c\u00e9lulas, favorecen la salud de las articulaciones y eliminan los residuos.<\/strong> al tiempo que mejora la recuperaci\u00f3n, minimiza los calambres y el riesgo de lesiones, y aumenta el rendimiento. Se recomienda beber con regularidad durante las carreras largas y asegurarse de tener a mano una hidrataci\u00f3n adecuada durante los meses m\u00e1s calurosos del verano para evitar el agotamiento por calor y la deshidrataci\u00f3n.<br\/>\n<br\/>\u00a0<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Estr\u00e9s<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Cuando aumenta la carga de entrenamiento (ya sea en intensidad o volumen), tambi\u00e9n lo hace el estr\u00e9s en el cuerpo. Esto debe equilibrarse con el estr\u00e9s en otras \u00e1reas de la vida para reducir el riesgo de agotamiento. Por ejemplo, durante un bloque de entrenamiento de alto volumen, intenta reducir el estr\u00e9s laboral, familiar y relacional. El estr\u00e9s elevado puede contribuir a la falta de sue\u00f1o y, por lo tanto, afectar negativamente a la recuperaci\u00f3n. <strong>\u00a1Correr una ultra sin energ\u00eda es un camino directo al agotamiento!<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>\u00a0<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Programaci\u00f3n<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Entrena de forma m\u00e1s inteligente, no m\u00e1s dura, cuando aumentes la distancia. Una programaci\u00f3n inteligente permite que las sesiones de entrenamiento intensas vayan seguidas de una recuperaci\u00f3n suficiente. <strong>Mant\u00e9n tus carreras f\u00e1ciles\/de recuperaci\u00f3n f\u00e1ciles y tus sesiones intensas con un prop\u00f3sito.<\/strong> Presta atenci\u00f3n a c\u00f3mo responde tu cuerpo a las diferentes sesiones de entrenamiento y ajusta tu programa en consecuencia. No existe un programa de entrenamiento \u201c\u00fanico para todos\u201d.
