Considerations for Continuing to Exercise When Sick & Monthly Recap

Spring has officially sprung & April has come and gone already! This time of year runners typically find their event calendars getting busier as well as themselves spending more time outdoors in the nicer weather.

It is also a month that with this increase in activity and events runners often can experience illness! Especially runners who are in taper for a big race like, I don’t know, Boston or London Marathon, or runners simply taking a down week after a period of higher sustained volume and/or intensity training. And it is of no surprise that runners tend to be a group of people that power through training, even when it may not be advisable.
