long run after chest cold?

kath711

I am just getting over a chest cold. I feel a lot better but am wondering how long most people wait to do a long run. I am training for a marathon in October and am supposed to do 20 miles tomorrow and although I felt okay today doing 5 I am worried it may cause a rebound on my cold. Any suggestions or advice? Thanks!

I would wait until you don't feel it in your chest anymore. If you are down to the stage where your chest feels fine but just have a little runny nose or little cough I think it's okay to run. But if your chest is congested still, skip it.
