Yep, I don't disagree with your point here at all. I'm a former distance runner who gave himself knee tendonitis by overdoing it, so I definitely accept the risk of overtraining. I guess that I was trying to make the point that almost nobody is at risk of that.

I'd assert that overtraining is relative to what we've been doing. So people who've not been doing much can still be at risk of overtraining.
