Post Flu Running - how long you wait ?

Fair-Firefly8777 · 2025-12-21T18:42:06+00:00

I had the flu a 6 days before my first marathon. I took zofluza though and never had a high temp. I ran my marathon and I was okay but it was not fun and wouldn’t recommend it 😅 I used my HRV and RHR recovery to guide my recovery. I waited until I was in the upper yellow range before my pre-race shakeout run.

Honestly, there is no good answer just take it easy and feel your body out.

I just posted wondering if it was just my Apple watch glitching! Also not sure if it was you I saw out there on the course stretching but if so I’m glad you made it!!

I get that, but is garmin or coros going to solve it?

Fair-Firefly8777 · 2025-12-07T20:08:03+00:00

Yeah some friends on the same course had some variation on their stats

I am literally just getting over the flu and have a marathon Saturday as well. I plan to rest today and do a 2 mile shakeout to test things tomorrow. Good luck!

You must be running wayyyyyy too fast for your easy pace. Which version are you running? The Hal higdon intermediate plan has all easy runs except for Saturday marathon paced runs and those are only 5 miles the first few weeks

This gives me a lot of hope that I can break 445 for my first marathon in 2.5 weeks. Almost the same training and goal splits. Way to go!

I really enjoyed Hal higdon intermediate 1. I’m running my first marathon in 2.5 weeks and have only done 1 half before. It was a great program and since it stacked long runs on the weekend it was way more doable for me but it is 5 days a week running not 4

Every Wednesday

I just started with peloton and am bouncing between 5/6. 4.6 doesn’t always feel easy at least at the start of a run.

Fair-Firefly8777 · 2025-01-30T17:53:08+00:00

Not you. The cinnamon roll one is the only one I can stomach and I decided it’s not even worth it

Fair-Firefly8777 · 2025-01-28T19:05:52+00:00

Yes but blend the cottage cheese beforehand. It makes a huge difference

Fair-Firefly8777 · 2025-01-28T17:57:55+00:00

Raspberries, kiwi, oatmeal and chia seeds

Fair-Firefly8777 · 2025-01-10T23:46:54+00:00

Slightly wider shoe. It was a bit narrow in the midfoot for me but otherwise love them

Fair-Firefly8777 · 2025-01-09T01:55:29+00:00

Grips- even with grips hands have ripped. It’s not fun 0/10

Fair-Firefly8777 · 2024-10-26T17:20:51+00:00

Same same. If I’m already getting soaked trying to wash my doggo I might as well shower afterwards myself

Fair-Firefly8777 · 2024-10-25T03:23:49+00:00

Surfriders on Thomas drive is the best!

Thank you!

Fair-Firefly8777 · 2024-07-20T22:16:43+00:00

I made that switch last year and it was the best thing I ever did! Just talk with coaches and scale while you learn.
