How do you know when to take a break...

Dunno if anyone has something similar but... I have allergies to, but only at a certain height. When hiking, I reach a certain altitude and then bam. Sneeze mania. But hey, I'm entertaining! Have to research some more plant info and figure out what grows only at that altitude.

taking time off - do you mean a week or a day? how often do you train normally?

I have found reducing my training days and mixing up cardio helps.
i train 3x p/w and sometimes do 3 or 4 cardio sessions a week, add pilates in there as well - great for streching all those overworked muscles!
