Sick Weekend Workouts | Training Journal Entry #3
My kids got me. Last week, they brought a cold home from their nursery. By Friday I felt the cold coming myself. Luckily nothing severe, just a congested nose and a little cough.
Earlier this year, I had two severe stretches of coughing for weeks. During both, I had decided to not train until fully recovered. Which took seven(!) and 4 weeks respectively as the cough simply wouldn't go away completely.
This time around, I decided to take a different approach. In an episode of the Matchbox Podcast that I had recently listened to, the hosts mentioned that short-duration (below 2 hours), higher-intensity workouts can actually be helpful for the immune system at least if the sickness isn't too severe. Given that I felt quite good apart from the congestion, I figured to give it a shot.
On Saturday, I completed my 1.5h threshold workout - which even included little spikes into VO2 Max territory - and it worked very well. When I was done, I even felt better than before as the workout had cleared some of the congestion.
On Sunday, I put our kids in the bike trailer and used our ebike for a 1.5-hour zone 2-ish ride in the sun which, as a little bonus, made the little ones fall asleep. In short, a great success, especially as we enjoyed the playground and pizzas afterward. Back home, I even got my strength workout in to finish the weekend training off.
All things considered, I'm happy I trained. I'm still congested and obviously, it's impossible to know whether or not I'd be in better condition if I hadn't trained. But at least I have the feeling that the training didn't hurt. So unless my state worsens, I'll keep on keeping on this time around.
