Staying Healthy and Training During Shutdown

Well, team.  Tomorrow is the last day we'll see eachother for about 4 weeks. As we discussed in the team meeting yesterday, we should anticipate that we will be able to hold a limited season from late April through Mid May.  If nothing else, training for that will give you something to do....a reason to get out of the house.

So, what should you do training wise?  You should do pretty much what we've already been doing with a few alterations.

Nutrient rich foods will help your body fight infection

  1. While heavy training loads can temporarily depress your immune system.  Moderate training loads will actually increase immunity. Therefore, getting out for a workout is actually one of the best things you can do for yourselves during this time.  Plus, if you're out on the canal, you're pretty safely socially distanced from the rest of humanity. 
  2. Since you have so much more time at your disposal where you are literally NOT ALLOWED to get together with large groups of friends and family, You should spend more time SLEEPING and DOUBLING Sleep is the other great immune booster, and breaking your sessions into two chunks will help ensure that any one session is not too hard and won't weaken your immune system.
