Hi all,
So I graduated last week (yay!) and am trying to train for a 10k in two months - I don't expect to run all of it, but I'd like to run more than half. Only problem is that on Monday I didn't have time to run, and today I've got a cold and a sore throat and it's chucking it down here. I'd still like to go out, but do I just run the risk of making myself properly ill?
I am the same as you, graduated last week, got a 5k booked for Saturday and feel like ####... Running is the last thing I want to do 
Although at least my first 10k is about 6 months away.
I would suggest a couple of says rest, then get back on it as quick as you can, you won't feel like running, you won't do your best and get to feel dejected. A few good nights sleep, some fruit and vit C - and you'll be back up by the weekend running..
No, don't run - rest up and wait for another couple of days when the cold symptoms have gone.
You won't lose anything in terms of fitness with a few days break and have plenty of time to prepare for you 10K.
Definately don't go! Sounds like we have the same lurgy. Nothing good will happen if you try to run when you are ill. Rest and rest some more.
Stay in, until you feel better... the Lurgy monster is hanging around the forum and ready to leap on anyone he can 
No, don't! If it had been just a sniffles and you feel OK then you could, but anything from neck down then no, it just puts stress on ticker, just rest. Resting up to get rid of a cold won't lose you any fitness..😊
Just tell me when to run & when to walk
Run or not when a little stuff?
What to listen to when running
Strenghening arms when running
When a run surprises you!
