This will be my first cross season since 2016- had high hopes of doing 8 or so local races and possibly single speed nationals. However, I’ve got a 5 and 2 year old, we’ve already had one nasty cold for the whole family. Feeling bad on top of being up with one or both of the kids in the night is not exactly a recipe for great training but c’est la vie.
I did pick up some vitamin C, D and zinc to take daily in hopes that it might help prevent future infections for me (knowing the evidence is mixed at best on all of those). I will also eat a few cloves of raw garlic at the first sign of a cold- I really think it helps, my wife hates it lol.
