I RUN BECAUSE I CAN

I RUN BECAUSE I CAN

Comrades marathon 2015

Feel it, it's here!!!

Getting sick in the middle of your training

Getting sick in the middle of your training

It happened to me... I'm now busy with the most important 2 months of comrades training and then BOOM I got sick!!!!

Running is a sport that pump up your heart rate, so when you are sick or got a flue it is best to stop training. When you are sick and you are running you can damage your heart muscle and leave damage to your heart forever. 

You won't believe but for that week that you recover from your sickness, you will benefit in your running.. You will not loose any fitness in a week and your body will love the resting period.

To prevent getting sick, you can get a very good multi vitamin  and you can go for a vitamin B 12 shot at your health practitioner.

Stay healthy
