    It's your heart for crying out loud. Ask your doctor for advice on what you can and cannot do.

    My advice - if youve got pericarditis you probabaly can't cycle - I could barely walk up teh stairs at home!
    And if you've got a virus.... don't train at all ... ever. You could kill yourself!
