Hi, just after a bit of advice. I've been off training for 2 weeks now with flu and need and want to catch up. I know about the dangers of training too hard too soon, but my problem is general apathy towards training. Before I was ill I swam 3 mornings a week, rode 2 or 3 times and ran the same. Any top tips on how to break out of this lazy cycle?

Be interested in hearing people's top tips for getting out and exercising when the mind says "the bed is so much nicer than out there"
If your body is still run down supplement your diet with glutamine available either separately or it can be found in some protein shakes.I found it useful after suffering a post viral infection from glandular fever.
I guess that is exactly how you are feeling after having the flu for 2 weeks! Although the physical symptoms of the flu have gone the virus can play havoc with your body for weeks after.
As Nike say, "Just do it". Get out on the bike or in the pool. Take it easy but by simply getting back into things you will be able to get back on track. As others say, you have your base fitness it is only your programme that has taken a knock. Get those endorphins going and in no time you'll be back.
