Does anyone else find that they have gotten more colds/flu since they began training in martial arts?
Since I've started TKD, I've found that I've had far more colds, upper On another note, TKD is by far the most physically demanding thing I've ever done. The combo of aerobic/anaerobic training seems to tax me like nothing else. Mountain biking, squash, all very cardio-oriented, I seem to recover very respiratory infections, and flus than with any other atheletic activity I've done.
quickly, but it's not like TKD. Weightlifting is of course "hard", but the whole time I was lifting, I swear I never got sick once.
I try and get to class 3 times a week, and to me, that doesn't seem like overtraining. Classes are an hour a piece.
I eat extremely healthy, take my vitamins, and try and get enough sleep.
It seems to be a vicious cycle for me: I train hard, get sick, don't train because I'm sick, feel I fall behind in class, train hard, etc etc :idunno:
Anyone else experiece this? Any way to combat it?
