Crap, when did you first start getting symptoms? If you are still within the frist 48 hours do as follows: Go get some Zycam nasal get and use as directed, graggle listerine (must get deep in your throat) for 2 minutes, and boost your immue system with Colostrum immunomodulators.

All of the above info is good to follow... as part of your rest routine, Stay off of Slowtwitch or else you won't get any rest at all!!! :P

stay in bed or lay around on the couch and let your body fight off the virus. You should not be doing any training at this point, you will not get any gain from anything at this point. rest, recover, live to race sunday. 2-3 days of total rest can really help.

good luck and I hope all goes well

GO4 SMOOOOOOTH AND FAST

Hey thanks you guys. I had symptoms starting tuesday, so I am in the middle of it. I just checked my temp, it was 101.3 ish. So yeah, I am going to go take a nap now. I probably won't be racing, but I'll try my hardest to get well by then.

Yeah if you have a fever that high it sounds more like the flu than a cold...good luck.

Don't hold back

[reply]Yes I am sick. I have a kinda important race, in two days (on sunday) and I would like to recover by then. I have fatigue, a stuffy nose, a sore throat, and coughing. I have tried and I am continuing to try all the methods I know to recover, ex: lotsa vitamin c, keeping warm, drinking steaming hot beverages like apple cider, staying off my legs, not doing much training wise, probably some more but I can't think of them right now. Do any of you guys have any special secrets to recover from a cold? Possibly some that work quickly? Thank you.[/reply]

NO training, sleep/liedown/rest as much as you can. Drink a lot of gatorade - you will be better on Sunday.

Feet up and sleep.

Then when the bell rings, you answer.
