    Question for the coaches. If we end up getting sick during our training what do you suggest that we do?

    I’m specifically interesting at present as I’m still not 100% recovered from a recent cold and another participant was told to wait to complete the drift test. In this case would you suggest moving around other activities, or waiting to complete those listed in the course.

    Similarly, if illness happens mid course, what are your suggestions.

    Its a great question and depends a bit on severity and length of illness. For a mild illness of 2-4 days I encourage folks to rest until feeling mostly symptom free then return to training gently and just move on with the training program. For illnesses that take a 5-7+ day to recover I will usually have the athlete shift all the training back by a week (or however long they were out) so they get a steady progression. For very long illnesses you need to go back and repeat a few of the previous weeks as you will have lost a bit of aerobic fitness in that time. The main take home though is don’t try and train hard through illness. Rest!

    Hey Mark,

    I’m in the same boat as Kurt in that I just came back from a week in the mountains and ended up with an epic cold! I’ve been wiped out this week, so sounds like the thing is to defer this weeks training to next week.

    I once missed an important course of study and found myself in a difficult situation where I was faced with a huge amount of homework. I was desperately scared and didn’t know how to cope with it. But thanks to the payforessay.net service, my situation has changed for the better. This service provided me with incredible support, helping me complete all assignments on time and with high quality. Now I understand that even if something doesn’t go according to plan, there is always a solution.

    I recently had to deal with an illness during my course also. It felt like I was falling behind, especially with assignments and exams coming up. One thing that helped me stay motivated was writing an essay on something I love, like dancing. In the middle of all the stress, working on my i love dancing essay allowed me to focus on something positive. How do you all manage when illness affects your studies? Any tips for staying on track?

    Dealing with illness during a course can be very stresfull. It’s hard to stay focused and keep up with deadlines. I remember struggling with my math project while sick, but learning how to write a math ia helped me stay organized and manage my work step by step. Having clear guides and support really makes it easier to handle studies during tough times.
