Exercising whilst ill

I’ve had a bit of a cold lately, it’s nothing too bad just a sore throat, headache and bunged up a bit, but considering what happened last time I exercised whilst ill I’ve been taking it easy.

Last time I ended up getting pericarditis and spending several days on the cardiac ward at Bronglais Hospital. A good enough incentive not to do the same again but doing nothing is next to impossible. I haven’t been swimming or to circuits and I’ve missed out on a night MTB ride, but I mist admit to having done a couple of fairly easy Turbo Trainer sessions. I’m sure the odd recovery style session on the Turbo Trainer can’t do me too much harm. I hope not anyway.

Hopefully the cold will clear up soon so that I can get back into some training ready for the Mawddach Goldrush. Otherwise I’m going to be struggling to get round.
