It’s day 1711 of my run streak, and today I’m tackling a topic every runner faces at some point: Should you lace up when you’re under the weather? In this episode, I share my own experience running with a lurgy (that annoying cold or bug that won’t let go), and I’ll be honest – it’s not fun! I talk through why I pushed on (hint: my fundraising commitment!), the key signs you absolutely shouldn’t ignore (especially your heart rate), and what I’d recommend to anyone else – spoiler: don’t do it unless you really have to. I also explain what metrics to watch if circumstances force you out anyway, and when to draw the line for your body’s wellbeing.

Whether you’re a dedicated streaker or occasional jogger, this episode will help you make the smart call next time illness tries to sideline your plans. As always, drop your questions or experiences in the comments – I respond to everyone.
