Well due to start week 3 run 1 tomorrow after a couple of days off due to work. Buuut I've got the dreaded lurgy. Typical not had a cold for months and start something I am loving then get ill. I am sooo determined to do my run tomorrow but as I feel so rubbish with a bad cough is this wise? Shall I go and see how I do? Don't want to loose my mojo and my fitness I've built up so far.

General rule is - above the neck OK to run, below wait until it's better.
Err on the side of caution. Better to lose a day or two than a week or two because you pushed too soon. You won't lose all your fitness in a day or two.
Get well soon.

Stay home..rest up..recover🙂 Mojo and fitness...they don't go that quickly!!!
Get out again when you feel better🙂
Thanks guys I just worried I'll loose what fitness I've gained if I take a couple of days off. Guess I'm hooked. Duvet day today.
