Hi,

I seem to get sick quite often now I'm training more. It always seeems to be at the same sort of distances that I hit a road block and get sick aswell.

4x morning swims of about 1.5 hours
3x 30/40 minute runs
3x bikes (50km, 60km, 70km)

It always seems to be this week where I get sick. Why do you think so? What can I do about it?
Please help!!

Although exercise will weaken your immunity in the short term, those workouts don't look that bad. What does your sleep schedule look like, and how is your diet? Those matter too.

I don't have answer, but I suffer from a similar problem...in the last 2 months after hard efforts, I have gotten flu like symptoms- body aches, headache, congestion. Twice after racing, and once after a hard run.

It takes about 2 days to feel better and then I am back on track. It's very frustrating though, and I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions.

I had read somewhere else that probiotics help, so I have started taking a supplement, but haven't done a hard workout since, so I don't know if it is working ...i will update when i know.
