Advice please?!

Hello all!

I haven’t run for about a week as I’ve had a horrible virus / cold type thing.

How long should I wait until I run again do you think?

I’m feeling better but still bunged up and spent the whole day on weds asleep?!

I’m post graduate so could just do a short run to see how I feel 🤔

I think if you feel you have the energy to run then go for a short run and see how it goes. I wouldn’t run to far though as your body still needs it’s energy for you to recover from your cold.

The advice seemed to be if it’s above the throat then run when you feel like it. Otherwise wait for it to completely clear.

No harm in putting on your running gear, doing 5 min warm up walk, jogging away for 10 or so minutes, jogging back, 5 min warm down. Worst is you reach mid way and have to walk all the way back.

Sounds like a good plan ..... I’m itching to get out! Perhaps tomorrow ..... 🤔

Perhaps take a warmer top wrapped round waist to wear after in case you feel lousy?
