Start of a cold :(

So I have that feeling of a cold beginning today. Do I still do my run tomorrow? I'm under the impression that exercise at the start of it can help? Or should I just have the week off? If I have the week off where do I start again? I feel that it will undo all my work so far!

There is an above the neck and below the neck rule.. anything chesty etc.. do not run... if it is just a snuffly cold, then maybe? Running with a temperature...not a good plan!

A week off? Usually, we do not lose what we have built up that quickly :)

Not what you're looking for?
