Episode #345: Managing Sickness and Training

Running Rogue

It is that time of year where everyone is rapidly falling out of training due to sickness. When that happens, panic mode sets in, and you might try to simply train through it. However, that can be dangerous and cause you to extend your sickness even more. Instead when sick, you need to give your body the time, ability, and resources to temporarily focus on getting healthy instead of getting fitter.

In this episode, I talk about 5 things to consider when managing sickness during training including when to stop and then how to gradually rebuild once healthy again. I do not wish getting sick on any of you, but if it happens, then this episode is for you.
