I had the same thing happen to me in early February..went down to the basement, got on the trainer, did a few revolutions and quit. E-mailed my coach who told me to take 2 weeks off..only do what I felt like doing. For the first week, I did nothing. The next week did 1 bike, 1 run and 2 X-Fit classes. Then I was ready to go back.

I guess I needed permission to take a break. I rarely complain about my training schedule and 98% of the time do the training I am asked to do. So I guess my coach was intuitive enough to know- I needed some time off.

I agree with NYB to journal your moods during training - and do not be afraid to take the time off.
