"Should I run with a cold?" asks John

"Should I run with a cold?" asks my friend John.   John, by the way, is my latest subject in coaching and encouraging him to run (he's training for a specific event next year). He's been doing fine until now and he's gone down with a bug which he anticipates will knock him out until after Christmas.  That seems a long time to me.

I guess we're all different.  Some people need to take complete rest to get through a cold or flu and prevent it developing into something more problematic.  Other people aren't fazed at all.

Just as I was about to write my answer for John, I realised I had blogged about this before - simply follow this link and there's the answer!  Here's wishing you well John.
