For the second year in a row the first time I hit CTL/ATL: 75/105 I get hit with a sinus infection / cold and loose 3+ days of training.
I had a sore-throat hint a few days before & implemented my mitigation strategies but it wasn't enough to fend it off.
Couple of questions:
1) Does anyone else find they always get ill at a certain point of a build?
2) What illness mitigation strategies do you use when then first hint of illness crop's up?
For me:
1) Yep, CTL/ATL 75/105.
2) Remove intensity,
limit workouts to <60 mins,
increase food,
drink 'the cure' (fresh orange juice + ginger beer),
flush sinuses with neti pot,
increase sleep,
get anti-biotics if coughing green gunk (mitigate bronchitis)
