The thought of being too sick to run is something you’d rather not think about at all.

Are there any guidelines to follow to be sure you’re not making yourself worse?

Let’s find out.

On today’s show, I’m going to go over:

• when it’s okay to exercise when you are sick,


• what precautions and modifications you should make to your routine, 


• when it’s not a good idea to run, and


• how long it takes to return to fitness after some time off

It’s a good idea to listen to this one before you get sick, so you know what you can expect. But if you’ve found this episode because you already are under the weather, grab a cup of tea, a cozy blanket and settle in.
