I have a chesty cough, I'm sniffling and my nose is running, my head feels cotton wooly and my throat hurts
Ideally I would still like to run but is it wise? Tomorrow I'm dong a 10 mile walk for charity, so would it be wise to not go today ?
What are the thoughts on running with a cold?
In general, don't. You'll feel awful, it'll probably delay recovering from the cold and you won't get much benefit out of the run. If you're ill you need rest. Get better, then run.
If it were me, I wouldn't run and especially if you're wanting to do the walk tomorrow.
I would say don't go, I came down with a cold last week decided to go for a run and it was awful. It was hard work breathing, the run was hard, then my chest hurt from running, I felt bad not completing it. I would rest especially if you are going on a 10mile walk.
Please do not go! You'll feel far worse than you already do! Give yourself time to get back to normal.
Please stay at home, have a couple of paracetamol and lots of fluids. I spent 2weeks on the injury couch on antibiotics after running with a cough. Ended up pushing the infection further down into my lungs. It wasn't very nice!! Take good care of yourself 
I agree with above posts. If you just had a head cold then I would say go ahead, but anything below the neck is bad news. I ran with a cough recently and it got worse and worse (although it was fine when I was actually running) until I coughed so much that I tore a muscle which then put me out of action for a total of 10 days. It's still sore now, but manageable.
It's difficult to wait it out but it's worth it!
