Determining if you are sick or just tired
When feeling unwell, it is important to determine whether you are actually sick or just experiencing normal fatigue. Symptoms of sickness include stuffy nose, sore throat, fatigue, malaise, and other signs of illness. If you suspect you are sick, it is advisable to take recovery sessions, focusing on easy workouts to aid healing. Recovery sessions can help speed up the healing process, but it is crucial to listen to your body and not push too hard. If you have multiple symptoms or severe symptoms like a cough, fever, or joint pain, it is best to refrain from training altogether and focus on rest and recovery until you feel better.
