Post long run cold…
It has happened to me since the beginning.
After a long run, about 24 to 36 hours later, I develop a cold.
Fortunately, it lasts only about 3 days.
Remember, going on long runs, or doing a great deal of aerobic exercise can reduce your body’s immune system.
To avoid this, try to:
- Stay clean for the 24 hours after a long run, including washing hands frequently.
- Keep hands away from mouth and eyes
- Eat healthy
- Get lots of rest
- Drink lots of fluids
Basically, treat yourself as if you are a germaphobe for the day or two after your long run.
