If u are increwasing the intensity/frequency of workouts and experiencing discomfort/pain, sounds like you should slow down that acceleration of your training.
Easy to overtrain and reduce gains.
In Jack Daniels book of running he talks about increasing workout intensity, you should only increase intensity of one variable of your training every 6 weeks, that way you give your body time to adjust to increased stress levels, you know what is/isnt working.
Rather slowly ramp up than try go too fast, get injured, and spend weeks sitting on the couch waiting to heal.
