The summer is saying its final farewell for the year. Flu and cold season is right around the corner. If any one of you was subjected to a bout of the flu or a cold, would you continue your training as per usual or would you rest up until the ailment had passed?
You will be pleased to know that depending on your condition, you may actually be able to train through the common cold or flu. The best way to find this out is to do what is called a ‘neck check’.
If your symptoms are from the neck up, such as a runny nose, then it’s okay to exercise. Exercise won’t slow down your recovery, as long as you don’t raise your heart rate and body temperature too much.
