| Getting sick after running
I have a bit of a problem. I decided I would start a regular workout today and get some running into my session to help me get back into shape. I haven't really done any serious working out or cardio work for a couple years.
I started off with some basic weight training and then headed out for a run. There is a nice path that goes around our campus that many people use for running. I decided to start off slow since it was my first time running in quite a while. I did a warm up lap (fast walking) and then jogged at a regular pace for two more laps after that. In total it was about 15-20 minutes of jogging (which doesn't include the warm up lap). It seemed like a pretty good work out, I was sweaty and pretty tired at the end and headed back to my place to shower. I came down with a cold later in the day.
I couldn't recall it being very cold outside. I was in a T-shirt and shorts for the duration and wasn't particularly cold at all the whole time I ran. So I have more or less narrowed it down between the following:
1) I did catch the cold from being underdressed for the weather.
2) I overworked myself and got sick that way
Its possible I may have overdone it for my first time doing real training in ages. Would working too hard cause someone to get sick? It left me with mostly just a headache and some extra junk in my nose, but mostly the headache. I want to know if I need to tone things down a bit or if it was just bad luck with being underdressed. Thanks.  |
