Why you'll lose MORE fitness training through illness

If you've ever been tempted to train when you're feeling under the weather, because you're worried that you'll lose fitness if you don't, this video is a must-watch for you!
This week I talk about common mistakes I see athletes make when they're ill or injured, and why more often than not their gut-instinct risks significant damage to their training progress.
But good news - I also provide really simple, unambiguous protocols of how to navigate illness from a training perspective, such that you'll lose minimal fitness and be back to full strength as fast as possible

That was timely! I’m not a runner or triathlete, but I’m a senior (age not skill!) powerlifter who has pneumonia right now, and I was wondering whether to go do some bench presses anyway.
