So I just finished week 3 on Sunday and was REALLY looking forward to week 4 when I've came down with a stinking cold :-( does anybody know if I will be able to begin week 4 tomorow (Thursday) ?? Or will my 4 days off mean my fitness has dropped? I'm absolutely gutted as I was loving every minute of it!

Thanks everyone for your lovely helpful comments. It's kinda is above my head but I'm so thick with congestion I don't think I'd be able to breath too well! I'm also working nightshift so I'm going to go in a nice bath and take it extremely easy and get out there tomoro afternoon when I wake up. I'm sure I will kkow if I have to stop. Thanks all!

hope you are feeling better soon :) go with week 4 nice and steady see how it feels

Hi. I work permanent nights and have recently had a cold. I still continued to jog but was a lot slower. Still, a run is a run. Plus, without being disgusting, jogging did help to shift some horrible stuff! I did find the runs harder, but felt abit better afterwards.

Well grimble you were dead right about clearing it out lol! Just done the run, little bit coughy but on the whole it was fine and I am really proud of myself for doing it! Even if I did have a pack of tissues all the way round ! Thanks everyone for your help and support it's much appreciated :-)
