overtrained

Pushed past recovery

Overtrained describes an athlete or exerciser who has trained beyond their body's capacity to recover, resulting in declining performance rather than improvement.

The condition involves fatigue, irritability, and increased injury risk.

In machine learning, an overtrained model has learned its training data too precisely, failing to generalize to new inputs.

She realized she was overtrained when her times kept getting worse despite harder workouts.
