Give it a few days off running then start slowly with run 1 of week 4 but if you still feel breathless stop running.

Have a few days off - I got food poisoning at about your stage and I couldn’t run for 4 or 5 days. I went nice and slow when I started again, and was fine. It takes a couple of weeks to lose your fitness. But running with a chest infection doesn’t sound good. Take care and here’s to s speedy recovery x

Don’t run with a chest infection. Even a chest cold (as distinct from a head cold) means don’t run.

Not what you're looking for?
