Excellent question: I would say, no. What you are asking about is called adaptation to a new workout. For that you need to (in my loudest, sternest voice) SUCK IT UP AND KEEP GOING!
What I'm talking about in overtraining is more than muscle soreness. It is injuries that need some rest or routine change to keep from turning into a permanent injury that takes the athlete out of training. Think of a pulled hamstring that due to overtraining becomes a torn hamstring. That is something that must be avoided.
Fairtex's out of town program has two training sessions per day. Add to that a mid-day nap and two out-of-class cardio/roadwork sessions of 1 hour each and you almost wind up with what they have in Thailand. 'Cept for the diseased animals wandering around the camp, the foul bathrooms, the thick, humid, smoggy air and the wonderfully warm Thai people.
