Find out how it could affect your training:
you sick—and none of us wants to run that risk before race day. But that’s a myth. “The influenza vaccine that is injected is an inactivated virus,” explains, M.D., Ph.D., a family and sports medicine doctor at The University of Toledo Medical Center—that means it isn’t possible to get the flu from a flu shot.
The truth is, “it’s not possible to predict the effectiveness of the vaccine because influenza virus strains change each year, so it’s an educated guess as to which strains to put in the vaccine,” explains Weldy. But even if you do get the flu shot and still end up getting the flu, “the vaccine often decreases the seriousness of the illness and the risk of hospitalization for people who develop severe influenza infections,” he adds.
“Eating healthy foods and getting enough sleep improves the immune system and lessens the chance of transmission if you do come into contact with the virus,” he adds. “Runners should also eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables to help build their immune system and keep it functioning at an optimum rate,” says Starke. And, as important as it is to hit those training miles, don’t sacrifice sleep to do it—getting enough shut-eye is crucial for your immune system to keep humming.
