Maybe I'm on my own, but I've noticed over the last few years that the ride I have just before I come down with a cold, I seem to have loads of energy.
This isn't an isolated phenomena and I'm sure there must be an explanation - anyone else?
Maybe you come down with a cold after you perform well due to pushing yourself harder than usual?
Aye - Definitely experienced that a few times. It's like pride comes before a fall 🙁 Feel like a world-beater for 3 hours and bosh - take two weeks off feeling like shite.
I think that I read somewhere that during the Cold War some of the eastern block Olympic teams deliberately infected athletes with cold / flue viruses at a specified time just before an event to gain a few percent extra performance.
