Re: dialing down training to protect immune system? [tuckandgo]
Turning 61 this weekend. I'm dialing back to 40 mpw week running, all moderate pace. No swim or bike. About a 20% reduction from my normal training load. No hard sessions. If I was 20 or 40 I'd probably remain at normal training load during the pandemic as long as I was healthy, but wouldn't increase it. I don't see an issue with an occasional short race at this time if you get appropriate rest before and after. I think a short race might even boost the immune system.

I have a couple of weeks of vacation I need to use by late June, so I'm hoping the virus will subside by that time so at least I can do a staycation where I feel it's safe to push the training load past normal when all I'm doing is training and resting at home, but that is probably optimistic at this point.
