4. Wait a day

So your flu/cold/illness is gone and you’re feeling a thousand percent better. Awesome. But don’t go for a run just yet. Wait a day. According to running experts, it’s better to wait until the day after your symptoms are gone to go for a run. If you don’t give yourself 24 hours for your body to readjust to feeling normal again, you could end up back in bed. Better to play it safe than sorry, no?

  1. Just in time. I’ve gotten a fall cold and I am on the fence about contining to train.

  2. I continued to workout last week and over the weekend with the onslaught of a head cold, and I must say it did not help but may have made it worse. This week I have had to sit out as the congestion is just now starting to break a bit.
    These nasty ass people I work with come to work sick cough and sneeze freely in the air spreading germs. I spray lysol but it didn’t help me this time.
