Poor thing, it's so frustrating isn't it? I've just had a week off due to a bad cold too but I don't think it'll put you back too much at all. Hope you feel better soon.

Poor you.

My advice is, if you are coughing... don't run. You are well on the way in the programme, and the run will still be there when you feel better.

It is horrid not to be able to get out there, but honestly. not worth making yourself really ill.

I can totally empathise as I am only just getting over the last remnants of Bronchitis lurgy!!!!

Wait and see how it develops, and the advice you will get on here, will mention the. neck rule, ( have a look on-line to check that out).

Stay warm and post later? :)
