Hi guys.

Like alot of people I have had the flu/cold since new years day. But unfortunately for me I am in the middle of my summer season with now 6 weeks to my last meet.

I have done no training since the cold.

I am trying to work out whether I should continue to the end of the season or pull the plug now and have 4 weeks off and start GPP.

Reasons to continue.
Done all this work
See how I go
Try and a get seasons best

Reasons to stop
Haven't performed as well as I wanted to
I lost 2 weeks of training, which means I need to back training volume and intensity off by at least 10-15%. This is was already on lowside.

Thoughts, experiences or recommendations.

Regards

Darren

Dont give up just yet. Keep at it and focus on getting ready to compete. At least youll have something to compare with, build on & learn from in coming seasons. Ive had plenty of ordinary seasons. Some turn out good & others arent worth remembering.

Thanks.

I did my first easy session yesterday. I am struggling with my flexibility and speed endurance.

I will put in some good weeks of training and see how I wil go.

Good stuff..Ease into it. Your flexibility & speed end will improve over the next few weeks. All the best for the rest of the season.
