These past few days, I have been fighting an awful stomach
flu. You know how it goes—weak, shaky,
not being able to keep anything down, lots of time in the bathroom. No fun!
Now that I can stand up straight again, when do I resume my normal
workout routine?
Today, I started out very easy. Instead of running around the track at the
local high school, I just walked. I also
did my normal weights routine, but used lighter weights. I still feel tired and weak, but don’t want
to give up a whole week of my training plan—I have two half marathons in the
next six weeks!
How do you get back into your workout routine after being
sick? Do you work out while you are
sick? I could really use your advice on
this one!

If the illness is above the neck I keep on keepin' on...(cold etc.) If it's below they say take time off. A cough can easily turn into an infection from running. The stomach bug though, you have to go by your body. I think the way you are easing into things is the best. You know what you can handle and obviously you haven't been fueling your body well! Good luck getting back into things.
ReplyDeleteThat is great advice. Thanks!
