Episode 2109 - Running With Sinusitis
from Runpreneur Hosted by Kevin Brittain
Running with sinusitis is the subject of today's episode, and I am not going to dress it up. Three weeks ago I had a head cold. Today I received an official sinusitis diagnosis from my GP.I describe what a run feels like with this condition. It is a build-up of pressure and a sensation of water shaking in my head with every stride. I also share what the GP said. The advice was to rest, use a saline rinse, a nasal spray and a short course of decongestant, and the GP told me I have arguably made things worse by exercising through it.The timing is hard. I am only just back from a broken foot that took the best part of 16 weeks, and I was building towards marathon season. Now I am running at about 75% capacity, eating less well and missing my home workouts.I do not have a neat answer to the tension between a streak and a body that needs rest. I am sitting with that question and recording it honestly.This is day 2109. I have covered 16,221.87km of the 40,075km lap of the world, with 23,853.13km to go. Every kilometre is part of a plan to raise £1M for children's causes, including Great Ormond Street and BBC Children in Need.If you have been through sinusitis, I would like to hear what helped you.
