Extreme Veteran  576   Bethpage, New York |  Subject: Getting Back on TrackSo I've been layed up for about 2 1/2 weeks with an illness. It started with a stomach virus then moved to a head cold. I love seeing my nephews, but not when their parting gift forces me to stay in bed for days at a time. I guess my big question is what's the best way for me to get back on track? I feel like I've lost alot of fitness and I've definetly lost the mental aspect I worked so hard for. It was such a downer not being able to ride for 30 mins after putting in hours a day of training the previous week. My first race of the season is St.A's. Any suggestions as far as getting back into a training regiment...and any words of encouragement? Thanks folks. |

molto veloce mama 9311 | Subject: RE: Getting Back on Track i had the same thing...2 weeks out. start slow the first week. don't just right back into your routine, but cut back by about 25% time/distance/effort wise. see how that feels and ramp up from there. if you look at my logs, you can see i'm not where i should be yet, but i've slowly ramped up and while it hasn't been a completely enjoyable process, i'm finally starting to feel like myself again. |

Extreme Veteran 576 Bethpage, New York | Subject: RE: Getting Back on Track Well folks, I did it...i just slipped on the runners and hit the road. It felt so good to get out there. An easy 40mins did the trick, I got home and immediately started organizing a training schedule for the week. I do believe I'm back!! Oh, and by the way, all these posts come from the comfort of my office...although I do wish I could be training instead. |

| 38 | Subject: Nutrition 1- make sure you are very well hydrated, especially for morning sessions (if that applies to you) 2- mojo will come back from training, as others said: go ahead and do it 3- don,t forget fruits and veggies (+ lean meat) as you are most probably depleted of some micronutrient. No need to over analyze this, though, eating more and moe good stuff will be just fine. 4- a lot of people get down on themselves after illness but focus on what comes ahead |
