That sucks. My experience was to get back to training fairly soon (2 weeks after fever went away). After that training session I knew I should rest more and took an additional 2 weeks off. Then built back up my regular training starting at 10% volume and increasing at 10% increases each week. After 3 months I was back to regular volume. My suggestion is that everyone take at least two weeks off, and build up volume very conservatively. I’ve had lots of conversations with other people that love to train. It’s hard to take it easy and do less because we love training, but this protocol seems to work for many. Maybe it’s too conservative and everyone is different.
