I had the worst illness of my life, as it seems, right at the beginning of week 7 of my oly training. I'm not quite sure what it was, but I'm guessing something flu-like. It's been terrible. I've been down since May 29, so about 14 days. I DO know to start where I left off. I just don't know when?
I did a 50 min treadmill run/walk this afternoon and I spent 30% of it in Z5 (>185). I've NEVER had it that high for extended period. My "suffer score" was 232 and 203 "points in the red". LOL. It didn't feel all that unreasonable, just the regular suckfest of a first workout back. I guess tomorrow will tell, but...
Do y'all think the elevated heart rate is within the normal after illness or do you think it could indicate more rest time is needed? I don't want to screw up now and make myself ill again. I'm doing the NYC tri on July 16 and I'm thinking I might still be able to pull it off, as long as I'm smart about it.
