so having graduated nearly 6 months ago, I kept running all through the winter and not a sign of a sniffle or a cold. (I'd had a small cold during the weeks but nothing that stopped me for more than a week.)
Today is a week since my last run
Have had three days nailed to my bed. Came back to work. still have a cough and very tired but... im on the mend and planning to test the water on Thursday with a short 20 mins before work!
So to the title - I'd been so pleased with myself - this running lark had not only made me fitter it had made me resistant to the winter lurgy. Well obviously not resistant but seriously I do think this fitter me has meant i could fight off more infections than I would have before and for that I am grateful.
Can't wait to pull on those trainers and get out and about again!

Yes, seem to be able to fight off infections better, since I've been fitter, but still doesn't stop you getting the lurgy from others especially children, when inside a warm building together, being outside in the cold is good for us in that respect, as long as we've enough clothing on..
I agree - I have missed nearly all of the lurgies this winter, and I work in a junior school so am constantly exposed to them! Horrible one going round at the moment actually, so fingers crissed😮!
