It’s better to go into a race undertrained than overtrained

While Chris ist getting fit for an again stressful racing season, I want to draw your attention to some health issues that should be taken into consideration, especially if you are not a professional athlete. As an amateur you may be exposed to more stressfactors than a pro. Family and job should not be underestimated in this respect. It is important to be aware of the fact that not only infections are related with a weak or impaired immunity but also injuries. Healing processes are one of the major responsibilities of the immune system. Therefore you have to care for your immune system. As an example, strained muscles and tendonitis are some of the most common injuries for triathletes and people who train for triathlons as a hobby. Adequate rest is important for an endurance athlete. There is a level of training where the perfect balance of diet and exercise can lead to longevity and improvement in one’s immune system and overall health. Too much training can make a body injury-prone and age fast. To find this balance is a tricky process. No general rules are applicable.

Ask Macca he can tell you how long it takes to find out! And he how he found out. May I say one thing in his name – Chris, I hope you don’t mind 😉 – You have to be patient, you should not want to much at a time. To become a solid endurance athlete takes time.

You are here on the BIESTMILCH’s Seven team blog. Chris who is taking biestmilch – an incredible substance to strengthen your immunity – now for 5 years, and is our dear partner. He is going to talk to you about this special substance soon. Stay tuned.
Here one advice that many a professional triathlete may give you (that’s of course easier said than done): Take one day off a week — and that day of the week don’t do anything, just sleep. Sleep is one of the big key factors in letting your body heal.
