Recovery
Looking for some reassurance that I am getting this right.
Back in September, Ari had a nasty virus. 3 weeks after the initial illness, it came back even worse. She was actively unwell for around 6 weeks with frequent relapses. When she pushed too hard in training she would hit a wall.
She is now much better and has been taking on pretty much her full training schedule. Last weekend she did a full-on 3 day comp and then straight into a full week of tough training. Last night it was obvious she was flagging. Some of the symptoms were back - headache, congestion, shattered, feeling sick. She ran to the bathroom after 1.5 hours in the pool on the verge of being sick.
Her appetite hasn't fully recovered since being ill and I am worried that she isn't fuelling enough but she is off many of her go-to foods.
I didn't let her train this morning and she slept nearly 10 hours, woke up feeling hungry and more human.
I feel like I am doing the right thing and just fending off the post viral fatigue and relapses but I am also anxious. Any thoughts?
(I would like to be able to talk to her coach but he isn't the easiest and would likely brush it off as her being a wimp.)
