exercise addict?

I plan my day around exercise, eat for my workouts and no other particular reason, get up at 5am to train etc but I don't think I'm addicted, I'll take a day off if need be and put off training if there is something I'd prefer to do instead.

Where it says only 30 mins a day is required... thats kind of bull **** because how can you possibly train for endurance sports in 30 mins a day? lol

I just train because its fun most of the time (not speed work!) and because if I don;t train enough, I won't be able to complete the races I do while having fun at the same time.

Body builders I think fit more into exercise addictions and less triathletes IMO

Cool article though

Very intelligent article, and definitly something people need to keep in mind while training.

I can think of a few body builders at my gym who might be addicts. A few years ago, I started talking to a muscle-head guy there, and I said I felt my biggest problem was diet, specifically overeating. He said I looked fine and said: "Be careful, because exercising in front of these mirrors every day will give you a body image disorder like me." Kinda odd and interesting at the same time.

Yes, please.

Although, there is such a thing as a good addiction. Monomaniacal people often produce the best work in a variety of fields, but they're either real aholes or freaks in person.
