Very wise to put it on hold. Hope you are better soon.

Please make sure to take some extra time once you think you’re better (if that makes sense).

Sorry about your bad chest infection, but you must wait until it clears up before you return to running, just hope that you recover quickly.

Poor you but in long run you are better to rest.

Get better soon and wait until you can breath easy before you run, at least you are resting your legs

Sympathies, I'm in the same boat. Took 9 months to graduate instead of 9 weeks, did a month of consolidating then hit by a chest infection. Haven't run for the last 3 weeks but hoping to start again next week. Hope you get better soon too 😊
