Solo 5 Oct 11:48am, 5 Oct 2024 1,156 posts	0 Solo @NZD I was a little shocked when I saw it this morning 😞 Ouch again @Welshpoppy Besides the high HR, night sweats and runny nose I really don't feel too bad. I haven't tested for COVID though. My main event seems to always be preceded by a bug now 🙄 and I had even started to be cautious so as not to over train and make myself vulnerable. Not as tough as I used to be !

Welshpoppy 5 Oct 1:08pm, 5 Oct 2024 4,598 posts	0 Welshpoppy Thanks everyone toe is sore but fine. I would also be happy with 52 Vo2max as mine is 9 lower than that. Are you raring to go for tomorrow 0061?
OO61 5 Oct 1:13pm, 5 Oct 2024 345 posts	0 OO61 I'm fairly relaxed about tomorrow WP. Not on my best form so not really likely to win a sausage. I've had a bit of a headache too for a couple of days too. Proud to run out in the England vest though.

Canute 5 Oct 7:45pm, 5 Oct 2024 2,994 posts	0 Canute @Solo I hope the cold clear quickly. I do not think that an the indirect estimate of VO2max based on HR provided by your Garmin in the present of a viral illness is a realistic estimate eof your actual VO2max. I hope that the estimate of the estimate of VO2max provided by Garmin will return to a more realistic value as soon as the cold settles. @OO61 I hope all goes well at Chester. @Welshpoppy it is good to hear that the toe is fine. Today I did jog segments of 10 min, 16 min, 15 min and 4 min with intervening 1 min walks. My knee remains happy but fitness is only returning slowly.
