Hello,
As usual I'm posting because something's gone wrong again and I'm after advice. Bit mercenary of me but I appreciate any help please
I've just been diagnosed with glandular fever, contracted it 8 weeks ago, got symptoms 4 weeks ago and am now over the symptoms and left with the utter exhaustion. I gave up all exercise on day one and am going out of my mind, just dropped out of the Rosedale Ultra that I had been training hard for so a bit gutted *Incredibly* relieved that it wasn't the suspected lymphoma though.
My question is this: the advice says not to 'overdo' the return to exercise as it might result in chronic fatigue but also not to rest too much because it might result in chronic fatigue... excellent but I have no idea what gentle exercise is for a 'normal' person! In my head I'm thinking '5 mile gentle run' ... does anyone have any advice or experiences of getting over GF and back into running please?
Sadly, no snogging was involved so I didn't even get the fun bit of GF at the start! On the plus side, having a teenage disease must mean that I'm still really young :-)
Many many thanks
