is not destiny. This year is wrong. This time too, like a month ago, I got sick 3 days before the race fever high. And so, after the Treviso Marathon, also the second goal of the year, the long-awaited crossing Euganean Hills, is compromised.
So I wonder: is it worth earlier this year or early in the season, make a list of races (5 for the 2010, and went 2) choosing a table through a careful selection at the expense of other races just as beautiful, and form the basis for planning all training and Garette-test? Apparently not, the game is not worth the candle, this year at least, any attempt at organization and planning is in vain. The anger, of course, is not so much for the money of the entry, but for the effort made to sweat out for the occasion lost.
But belonging to this, the questions even more pressing is: what happens to me this year? From January to now I was sick 4 times already, I usually do at most one sick day per year. Overtraining? I do not think it is true that average run of six times a week for a total of about 90km, but it must be said that my workouts have never pulled, I prefer quantity to quality alternating lane departure media outlets running slow and inserting a an interval training session once every 3 weeks. Only in races on Sunday "do everything" (but not always). Last year I was training a lot more intense and exhausting than this year.
Perhaps the answer lies in some nutritional deficiency? Lack of vitamins? I think I can also exclude this hypothesis, I think ... I'm very careful what I eat. Tralaltro from a week in this part I started to supplement my diet with omega-3 capsules made of pure salmon oil concentrate to improve my immune system. Here it is. Perhaps the problem is he: the immune system. Tested for workloads (close to the limit but not excessive) and stressed as a result of the labors of the TV Marathon (time that I did not want to listen to the signals of my body forcing him to a labor too high) I now present the bill in terms of weakness and impaired efficiency, and thus, the first chance of contracting a virus (in these days with the family are all sick) fails to plead the required resistance. Yes, perhaps the most plausible hypothesis is this.
Under these considerations, I decided what to do:
- Although today the temperature has fallen to the TEC will not attend tomorrow, this time listen to the signals of my body and granting him the rest had to resume training until the day after the disappearance of symptoms Viral starting with a light session;
- will continue with taking the capsules of omega-3, supporting it with the integration of vitamins and tonics like ginseng, blueberry, guarana, royal jelly and honey, with the hope of strengthening the immune system bringing it back to its normal levels.
For the rest I look forward to the next "goal tender", the marathon Custoza May 9, one part hopeful because the non-participation in TEC allows me to have more time to prepare, on the other discouraged because after TV and Marathon Crossing the Hills Hills ... there is no 2 3. What
anger.
