i came down with a cold yesterday night, and now i am a little bit uncomfortable. i have swim practice in an about an hour and a half, and im wondering if i should rest, or still practice. i also have a big championship on sat. and sun, so i dont know if skipping a day of practice will affect me. what should i do? i need advice NOW because i'm leaving soon!
depends how severe your cold is
do you have a fever
do you got the shakes
it probably won't make much diff one way or the other
but I'd need to know more about you and what you've done recently
if you go to practice just tell your coach you're not feeling well before practice
that way if it doesn't improve you can get out and tell her your feel bad and want to go home and sleep
sometimes doing a very hard practice when you're sick can
lower your immune system and you might get sicker
sometimes you might infect your team mates
rest is good
sleep is good
so what did you do
also remember that when you're sick, you don't feel well and it's easy for those I've-ruined-my-season-by-getting-sick thoughts to creep into your head, tell your inner pessimist to shut up
just remember that tapering was discovered because athletes trained hard all season, then got sick before competition and barely trained,
swam anyway and did awesome
sometimes i've gone to practice feeling semi sick
not expecting much and sometimes i'd get in a groove and have an awesome practice
ande
