Tomorrow is my supposed to be my last long run (12 miles) before my second half marathon that is in two weeks. It's supposed to be very cold (in the 30's) at 6am. However, I started having a sort throat last night and it is continuing on today, along with some congestion. Now the question is should i run tomorrow or not?? I can run do a long run one day early in the week if i miss tomorrow. I feel like i need to run but breathing through my nose is a challenge right now and when i do my throat burns.
jeremy has had cold/sinus/sore throat stuff since tuesday. he's supposed to do 22 miles tomorrow. he went to the chiro today who said not to run bc it could turn into pneumonia. :( he is getting over his but mine is just starting.
i guess unless i start feeling better it looks like i'm a no go for tomorrow :(
I would evaluate the day of the run. I hope you start feeling better.
ReplyDeleteI am right there with you! I started coming down with something this week and tomorrow I have my last super long run (22 miles) before tapering. Mine started out as a sore throat and now it's mostly nasal congestion, though I am coughing a little bit too. I am at least going to give it a try and hope for the best! Sometimes once you start running you'll actually start to feel a little better and it will help your congestion to clear up. But nobody knows your body better than YOU so if you feel fatigued, weak, etc., just use your best judgement! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteUgh, hope you feel better soon. I go by feel. I usually have to at least try and run unless I am vomiting or have the runs. Listen to your body.
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better soon. I would wait and see how you feel...I would run if it were me but I don't want you to get sicker either!
ReplyDeletehope you were able to get up an at it this morning, I know it's easier to do those long runs on the day you are used to
