Running after the jab

Had my jab on Wednesday and decided to go out for my usual Thursday run as completing week 7. . Just took it really easy and all fine. I have a headache which can be part of the after effects so my only advice is take the paracetamol and drink loads - i definitely should have topped up my fluids more but making up for it today!

It is better to run the day before the jab and take 2 days off running after you get the jab, well done on that run StringsandKeys. always drink plenty of water before you run.

Yes I couldn’t unfortunately as had to go to a funeral the day before and then straight back into work but absolutely sound advice re giving it two days if possible!
