In Marathon Moment 9, John Honcharuk, licensed athletic trainer with Athletico, talks about proper foot care for runners training for the Bank of America Chicago Marathon.
This was a bad week. I thought I got off to a great start. I managed to get in a HIIT workout to beef up my strength training along with my mileage.
I was able to do that at the beginning of this week just fine. I got in another scheduled speed run to supplement my eventual 13.25 mile long run.
Unfortunately, a summer cold grabbed me and held me down. I thought I was almost over it and was hopeful to squeeze in my long run at the end of the week. I even made sure to bring homemade chicken soup with me to work to try to heal as the days went on.
I tried every remedy I could think of, but my body had other plans. I have long dealt with asthma issues and had an attack early one morning.
I went to see a doctor and it was what I have come to expect with having asthma, Bronchitis. Antibiotics and rest were the doctor’s orders and I’ve been taking that seriously.
