Run down

[glaconman]

Having hit what feels like a peak of running capacity in recent weeks/months, I suddenly find myself struck down by flu/illness and wary of doing anything at all.

.....

Any views/pointers welcome!

Well, having put together a really good block of training you were due to have a very easy week anyhow. Even top athletes will have a week of dossing about every 6 weeks or so.

Do yourself a favour and relax for a couple of days. Have a jog when you're properly recovered as a toe-in-the-water and then pick it up again if your heart rate seems normal.

Think of it as the transition between two big training cycles.
