Had a bit of a rest week last week and particularly over the weekend as I was getting into a bit of overtraining land combined with work pressures - overtime etc.

This weekend in particular I did very little. Resurrected an old petrol mower (never going electric again!), sorted out the garden taking out a few shrubs I didn't like (first spring in new house), a tiny tiny bit of light weight training on sunday just because I was so restless, got loads of sleep, ate everything in sight, drank plenty of water..

So today I get on the bike and cycle to work. Feeling a bit gopping on the way but I never feel good when getting up at 20 past 6. Arrive at work and its apparent im actually not well. Sniffling like mad.

Every time I take a rest this happens! infuriating.

Looks like you diagnosed yourself correctly.Chronic colds etc a symptom of overtraining,as you know.You should consider taking much more rest.
