324: Can I Run When I'm Sick?

Can I run when I’m sick? It’s a question that all of us will ask ourselves at one point or another. Today, we are going to take a look at this question to help you figure out when it’s best for you to run or rest when you’re feeling sick.  There are two big mistakes that runners make: many often push through instead of resting, thinking they’ll lose fitness, or on the other hand, they cancel their run at the first sniffle.  Both of these can lead to not seeing the progress they want, or worse, prolonged illness forcing you to take longer to come back.  Highlights of the episodeShould I run when sick?Learning to take a break as a runnerShould a complete break occur, or is adjusting even an option?How can you adjust if you’re sick?
