10 weeks.. weather is getting warmer… rain erratically… and the flu bug still around

Jump to Comments

the weather has been really hot lately.
i am sure all of you would have moments where you sweat just standing doing nothing.
you are losing minerals and electrolytes and that will affect your performance at training later.
or it can affect your recovery from those hard sessions too.

something about training stress.
1 hour after hard training, your body is at its weakness since it had undergone a lot of physical stress.
you are also most vulnerable to virus and with the flu bug at its peak.. at least this seems to be the case NOW! u really need to watch it.
