The Perils of Training While Sick
Last week I managed to develop a throat infection, as mentioned in my blog. I was off work from Wednesday afternoon until Friday. However, on Thursday evening, I felt a little better, and decided to do some weight training, and did an intensive (for me) squat session, plus the usual bench presses and rows.
By the weekend I developed a headache, and it go worse and worse. Been off work again this week, and my head i still really bad. Also, my shins are sore. Last Monday (8 days ago) in kung-fu, we did some shin conditioning. They should have healed by now, but they are still sore. I think that this is because my body, my immune system, and my ability to repair damage, is all shot to pieces as a result of this virus that I have.
So, the moral of the story - next time I have a virus, do not train. Concentrate on recovery.
