Exercise is fantasticfor us. It has a number of benefits, including improving the performance of our immune system. Moderate exercise is believed to stimulate the production of a type of white blood cell known as Th1 which the body uses to help kill off viruses and bacteria.
However, as we begin to push our training harder and increase the amount of stress and fatigue upon our bodies we often see our immune system take a sharp turn in the opposite direction, and therefore putting ourselves at a higher risk of infection. Unfortunately, I have just been fighting an extremely tough bout of man flu, so it feels like a good time to discuss if you should be training when you’re ill!
When most people get sick they grab some blankets, turn on the TV and curl up on the couch. But, triathletes aren’t like most people! Athletes are determined not to miss a single day of training, even if they have a cold or the flu.
Is this a good idea? Or should you take it easy?
