My car's currently been in the shop for a few weeks, so I've been bringing the bike to commute to work.
The ride is about 9 miles each way, and it takes me 40-45 minutes each way. I've gone on 40 mile rides before so the distance isn't that much of an issue, but wearing a backpack, doing it with the temps rising, and riding in the morning and post-work when I'm probably most tired, certainly takes its strain on me.
In essence then I'm doing two 45 minute sessions of moderate-intense cardio daily, and while the first two weeks or so were fine, I'm kind of feeling out of it the past 2 days.
I have a pretty intense runny nose, my eyes feel pretty dry and my body is aching.
What I can't tell is if it's allergies, or overtraining symptoms. Are there any specific signs/indications of each?
