Really disappointed 😔 week 6 run 2 due today and I have been poleaxed with flu/cold thing.
How do you know if you are recovered enough to run?
I want to be kind to myself but don't want to backslide or lose some of the progress I've made.
Any advice would be appreciated
Above the neck, run. Below the neck, run not.
If you are unwell rest. Don't worry about Losing gainz. It's not a one time deal.
Thanks Rignold!
Like Rignold says... 
It poleaxed me yesterday while I was out prepping veg beds. It had been brewing for a few days. I had to down-tools, go home and hit the sack. Slept for four hours, ate then went back to bed.
Got up this morning and ran a 10k. Not quick as I felt shite but I did it. So glad I got out there as I felt better nearing the end
I have had to ie down in a dark room in the face of your heroism. Maybe I will be this brave someday🤞
As well as what Big R said, maybe first time just go out with a walk in mind and then if all feels ok start with gentle running and assess again accordingly
Please don't worry about losing progress, there is a lot of BS out there about "If you miss one days training it takes WEEKS to get back to where you were".
Slow and steady won't let you down 
I am down and out today! Feeling yucky! I had a long lie in. Propped up in in bed cos couldn't stop coughing. Maddening thing is, I never coughed or sneezed while running yesters, nor did I have to stop to blind me nowd.
Rest day today 🙂
I hope you are in the mend Helen. Take care 🙂
It sounds like you and I have the same/similar bugs. I'm coughing now too😡
Hope you feel better soon too🤞
Well, they say feed a cold ... I cooked a proper Sunday dinner today and ate it all up. OH went out and bought back throat and cough sweets for me, bless im. So,hopefully a quieter night and back to running tomorrow. Just a short one, thankfully.
I hope you'll be better soon 🙂
Fish, chips and mushy peas!
