So I'm 7 weeks before my 1st half-marathon and I've come down with a nasty cold that turned into sinusitis and bronchitis. Do I continue with my schedule or would it be better to take a few days off?
As a physician, I know that I should listen to my body. The chest congestion and bodily fatigue made me take a whole week off. I think in the long run I'll benefit from letting my body rest. I didn't have a long run planned this past Sunday anyways, so I think I'm still good with my training schedule. Here is a link from the Mayo Clinic on advice on exercising when you are sick:
