[Archived] Training while Sick


Recommended Posts

Hi Guys

im curious to hear from you guys, if its okay to train or exercise while having a cold a slight cough?

im down with a bit of a cold, and a cough, but no fever or body aches etc. I have a Speed and Agility course coming up this saturday.

Should i try and rest for the next few days instead of doing some running and so on before my course starts?

Thanks

don't be a wimp, it sounds like your just looking for some other wimp to tell you to rest up, if you rest up you'll just feel groggy a lethargic even after the colds past get a good hot curry in you and power through it.(plus drink lots of hot tea with good quality honey in it)

Terrible "advice".

Ditto of your wimpy advice.

If you've only got a sniffle, then yeah you can probably train through it, but if you feel dog rough, then it's senseless. You're going to be sluggish and off your game, meaning your performance will suffer for it, and you'll put unnecessary strain on your immune system when it should be using whatever energy it has to fight the illness. Machismo be damned, it's just common sense.

If it's below the neck, then definitely not. You can end up with a heart infection in a minority of cases - see http://www.runningforfitness.org/book/chapter-8-injuries/infections

If you're just bunged up then some light exercise may be beneficial.

But hitting the beast mode and going HAM in the gym with the diesel crew doing reps for jesus because it's still your ************* set while wearing an elevation mask or going tabbing with a 40kg bergen up the brecon beacons - probably best not to.
