Coach Parry RUN with Coach Parry

2 weeks out sick - can I still do Comrades?

--:--
Welcome to this edition of the Ask Coach Parry podcast, I’m Brad Brown, Lindsey Parry with us once again. Lindsey, the time is getting nigh, as they say and we’ve got two very similar questions in. They came in a few days ago, but I think they’re still quite relevant. One was from Zelda, the other one was from Orkie and they’ve both been struggling with a bit of illness. Zelda is saying she got flu and she managed to finish her antibiotics last week Friday. She ran 30km on Sunday, felt good, woke up on Monday and was sick again. She should not have run on Sunday, that’s what she’s saying to herself. She’ll rest this week, no long run on the weekend, will she be fine for Comrades if the last training she did was two weeks before race day?
