Weekly recap, an absolute shamble.
The kids all went through croup this week, with one ending up in hospital. Then I got some fu**ed up version of man flu that absolutely rolled me. Body aches, chills, the whole lot. I was out for 3 days and took the week off training.
Rule of thumb: if itās just a sniffle, you can generally keep moving. If youāve got body aches, chills etc, rest up, body needs to recover. No point trying to push through and making it worse.
Iām only a week out from the 10km run I was aiming to do in 45 minutes, so weāll see how that goes now. Not exactly ideal timing, but it is what it is.
Sleep has been all over the shop, as youād expect. Kids in our bed, camping in the lounge room, sleeping in with the babyā¦ whatever worked for the situation we were dealing with that night.
On the plus side, nutrition and water have been spot on.
Not every week is going to go to plan, and sometimes training just needs to take a back seat. The important thing is keeping the basics in check where you can and getting back into it when youāre ready.
Hopefully next week is a bit less chaotic.
