A few nights ago I came home from the pool feeling pretty miserable. Since then I've had a nagging cold with a bit of a cough, a lot of congestion and overall feelings of fatigue and weakness. I took one day off, when I was feeling really bad, then I worked out at a very low intensity yesterday. Now I'm thinking I should probably take another day or two off before getting back into any sort of workout.
My questions are:
When should someone stop training because of a cold or some sort of illness?
How much will it effect any sort of race? I have my first race of the season a week from Saturday (just a sprint) and I was getting into decent shape for the race. Even though it's early in the season, I'd still like to turn out a good race.
Thanks,
Adam
