It’s been the second week that I’ve gotten sick. I’ve started suspecting COVID due to similar symptoms last time I got it, yet this time they are much less pronounced. Since I’ve started lifting, I’ve noticed I get sick rarer, and the illnesses are milder. Still, it’s very unpleasant not to be at full capacity for ten days straight. And to boot, I have my training regimen to work on, with goals and everything.
I’ve started doing pushups again today. My nose is still occasionally clogged, a couple of times I’ve had blood roaring in my ears, and there are still bouts of slightly higher temperature than normal—but no fever.
My wife is a bit concerned and tells me that I should rest. But I believe gradually reintroducing exercise is actually healthy and beneficial for my body.
What do you do to get back on your feet faster?
I go for an 8k run, as long the pain / issue is at shoulder level or above.
