This week, Matrixx and Myles roll into the studio sounding like two dudes who’ve been hit by a bus made of cold medicine. But hey — the show must go on.

Sick days happen. Colds happen. And athletes still have to train, compete, and make smart decisions when their body is throwing them the “absolutely not” signal. So the guys break down:

When you can train sick… and when you should shut it down

How to actually recover instead of just hoping DayQuil does all the work

Competing while sick — the good, the bad, and the ugly

Why the best athletes know how to listen to their body without babying themselves

The difference between being sore, being tired, and being legitimately cooked

There are jokes, sniffles, coughs, and a surprising amount of good coaching insight in between.

If you’ve ever trained through a cold or wondered whether to push or pull back — this one hits home.
