Is it ok to run with a cold?

[Jerichomile]

Due to do week 5 run 2.......for the start of a cold. Do I run anyway? Advice appreciated. Thanks very much

Everyone is different. I ran through mine and mine disappeared quicker. Just make sure you drink plenty

Thanks 👍 great to get the encouragement....will do. How’s your running going? What’s your favourite run you did so far?

[Johnnylewis Graduate in reply to Jerichomile]

That is a very hard question. I actually like running round Craigavon lakes. So peaceful. Only problem it is flat. I have a 7k route which I haven't done in a while but its nice and challenging

Lakes run sounds beautiful. My favourite “beginners shuffle” so far was in Yorkshire Dales. Early morning so I was invisible but I felt so happy just to be doing it 😁

Yeah go for it

[Jerichomile Graduate in reply to Tasha99]

Thanks Tasha99, will do. Planning lots of water to drink and a nice warm bath waiting after!

I think I’ve read on here somewhere if it’s above the neck then you can run but if you feel awful below the neck then no ! Sure someone on here will correct me if I’m wrong...I did my graduation run on the start of a cold and was fine (just bit more tired) 🏃‍♀️ Hope you feel better soon.
