Bianchisti Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 What are those tell tale signs that warns you to take the day off training? I was sat in a meeting room with a freezing cold draft and my glands went thickish immediately. Been sneezing ever since and swallowing feels laboured while me chest doesn't feel it's usual self. Still did my intervals after work so pushing the limits of what my body will allow. What signs do you get just before you get sick?

Boerklong Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 A scratch in my throat where your nose and throat comes together. A sure *** day ahead
popcorn_skollie Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 Increased hr (on morning awakening)Truth. I've ignored this previously. But slight enough to notice shouldn't be slight enough to ignore. Its usually a sign I should be resting. I was drained from work stress and got way too little sleep for about 2 weeks. All I wanted to do was ride and forget about all the stress.So I rode. I came home with a migraine and this lingering nausea.I crashed. When I woke I realised my immune system was on the fritz.Had a fever that night and flu for the next few days.
Boerklong Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 Increased hr (on morning awakening)U get that from babbelas, or a low HR. Either way I still feel not so well
DIPSLICK Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 As dale says, once you monitor resting HR you couldn't really get a better indicator, Sore throat could be, sinus, snoring, Few times in the threads I see the guys reckon as long as it's above the neck carry on(head colds are ok) Lungs stop, but before it gets to that your heart rate will tell you

Either way I still feel not so wellIf you feeling off, tired, not 100% why risk long time off the bike,,that's me, I would rather sit out a few days than a couple of weeks(says the non cyclist at the moment)

Not worth it. You feel crap and negative.

Ratty Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 If I had to not ride everytime I woke up with a headache, snotty/ stuffed nose, sore throat, sneezing etc. I would never ride. The joys of being a sinus sufferer.
