I'm a huge fan of listening to your body. If you're not feeling it then don't go. Far better to take an extra day off than make yourself feel even worse!

When you run you stress your body.

When you are ill your body is stressed.

Just rest and recover.

You lose next to no condition in the first two weeks of non running.

Take care.

If you're not feeling up to running one or a few extra rest days is best . Get well soon. 😊

Hi Runrabbit50 ...your body is already working at its max trying to fight off this sore throat and washed out feeling so if you did run you would only be putting yourself into more pain and setting yourself up for 'one of those' runs...and where would the energy come from?! oomph, I feel tired thinking about it!! Rest well, your next run will be waiting for you right outside your door when you're feeling up to it.
