My advice is scale it back.

I know you are young but your body still has to develop and adapt.

We are all capable of doing way more than our bodies are conditioned to do, but not without increasing our injury risk. Sticking to gently progressive training plans is the safest way to push our limits, whilst gently increasing our resistance to injury.

Injury often strikes out of the blue and can stop you for days, weeks or even months.

This might make you think twice healthunlocked.com/couchto5....

Take care.
