Training for Croydon 10k but illness strikes, (migraine) typical!

Haven't run since Parkrun last Saturday, had a nasty gastric stomach bug, which put me low, was recovering nicely by the end of this week, then yesterday got the mother of a migraine, which was horrid and draining! Now feeling recovered to go out tomorrow for training. Strange how I haven't had a migraine for a long time, (can't member the last time) then I get one when I have a break from running, can I read anything into that, such as the blood vessels opening more through running? another very good reason to run/excercise then!😊

Good luck for the Croydon 10k I was seriously thinking about that as I am pretty close to it but blisters have curtailed my running for the time being. Hope you post a good time for you!

Oh no Dave. Migraines are horrid, so glad you're feeling better again. Its maybe connected to you having the stomach bug too perhaps?

Glad you're back up & fighting and ready to get out there again.

Take care x

A forced rest is sometimes a blessing before a race Dave so hopefully you'll be firing on all cylinders come race day.
