How do Antibiotics Affect Running Performance?

Antibiotics. We've all likely taken them at some point to fight off a lingering sickness or to help control more serious infections like strep throat, ear infections or bladder infections. But, did you know that antibiotics might also negatively impact your running? In fact, taking antibiotics is often unknowingly the cause of poor race and training results. Now, this doesn't mean you shouldn't be using antibiotics. You should always listen to your doctor. However, it does mean that you should be aware of what potential changes to your training and racing schedule you might need to make when taking them. In today's episode, Coach Ruiari and Dylan are going to discuss what you need to look out for when taking antibiotics and how to safely modify your training should you need them.
