So I’m making pretty good progress I’m on week 7 run 2 and I’ve started to come down with a nasty cough . I’m feeling otherwise ok , and wanted to ask ‘ have you ever gone in a in when you’ve been a bit unwell ? Or should I leave it this week and rest ?’

Thanks

I've had a cough recently and last year when I had a race on. Strangely I didn't cough while out running, it's as if running opens up the airways as you go.

It depends how you feel. If you feel well then do it. If not, wait til you feel better.

Running should be fun. You won't enjoy it if you are below par. Rest and return refreshed.
