I haven't worked out at all in 9 days, which is killing me, since I suffer from exercise addiction :D-- I average 1.5 hours of cardio - running, swimming, bike, eliptical everyday since the late 70's (except when recovering from minor surgery, or illness). I have a sinus infection and bronchitis. I'm still feeling out of it, and tired, so once I feel better, I will start out with walking, then work up to swimming. Friend of mine said I shouldn't do anything until I have NO cough, which could take weeks. Anyone out there have bronchitis, and if so, how long were you unable to swim? Did you swim with a cough? I am 60, but have the mind of a 30 year old, and almost the body of a 45 year old (pretty toned). It's the health that's slipping - had the flu in mid - March for 2 weeks. Am feeling really disgusted and sluggish right now.
renie,
not only can you practice with bronchitis you can race with it. pneumonia too!
i had pneumonia when i climbed onto the blocks at Indy at the '84 Oly trials.
back then my 13th place only got me to watch finals. nowadays that would have put me in the semi-finals.
and NO i didnt go a best time, but wasnt that far off, just a few tenths.
