My next run is w8r3 and I have come down with a head cold, ear ache, the full works, due to run tomorrow but work nights so planning on putting it off till Sunday. Hoping I will feel better enough to get through it, I feel guilty when I miss them 😏

Yeah take a break while you recuperate, I had a cough/cold recently so had to miss a few days, frustrating but has to be done. I wish you well.

🙁 I ran with a cold last week and it was horrible and I felt a bit demoralised, so I heartily recommend leaving it until you feel a bit better!

Get well soon - I know what you mean about feeling guilty, but try not to. You will get out there soon enough and it really doesn't hurt to rest a few extra days.

No need for guilt..health comes first and the run will still be there. Yes, it is horrid, but better to run when on form than have a mediocre run :)

Just listen to your body..it is your best guide and feel well soon :)
