I ride my bike most weekends practicing and competing in enduros. I also do about 3-4 hours a week cycling and the odd circuit training session thrown in between.
My training and riding is hampered by the fact that i seem to pick up colds and sore throats quite regular, i sometimes try and do some gentle exercise through it but going for a ride on the enduro or racing when you feel like that is out of the question.
I eat well and take in plenty of protien (fresh fish , chicken) vegies and loads of fruit, but i cant help thinking that my diet is lacking something and that is why my immune system is pretty weak.
Does anyone have advice for me on this subject? am i lacking some vitamins, or should i be taking a suppliment of some sort to help my body recover after training/riding?
any advice appreciated.
