Seriously, how well can you train when your run down. It's like a two edge sword. I can't see how you can get anything out of training when you feel mighty low

I hear what you are saying, but the way I see it Id feel worse(mentally) from missing workouts than I ever would going at it with a common cold..Know your limitations and instead of blowing it off entirely, I just dont go beast mode..

 

If I had the chance to be sore or be sorry, I pick sore every time...

 

YMMV

I think there is some benefit. It's all about balance and as others said, your immune system is weaker but I find that not resting completely but putting some effort in while a little sick, makes me stronger. Same as keeping on training during my period when I'm in pain. I think it's a mental strength thing.

Thanks for all the great replies here. Though I feel much better, I still have a tickling cough that won't seem to go away. I have tried every cough syrup, Vapo rub and cough drop on the market with throat sprays and warm drinks of every color and flavor. This seems to be really bad when I do a long distance run...around twelve miles. Any suggestions on this?

Still germy,

Grumps
