This might sound kind of obvious, but just listen to your body. You might need more rest than someone else who has your training schedule or maybe you need less rest. If your legs are tired by Saturday and you are planning on doing your hardest day of the week, don't do it. Go back to the drawing board and rework you training schedule.
Each training week should not be the same. If you are doing that way, then you are doing yourself a disservice. Cycling is much like run training. You have weeks that you build, weeks that you taper, weeks that you peak. Training should be in cycles. Are you currently racing? If you are over training many times, you can see it in your race results.
