Feeling sick but still tempted to lace up? The Neck Rule might be the most important guideline you’ve never heard of. In this episode of Running with James, we break down when training while sick is (maybe) okay—and when it can seriously hurt your health and performance.


You’ll learn:


  • Why exercising while sick can weaken your immune system
  • The risks of chest and heart complications (like myocarditis)
  • Why workouts are wasted when your body is fighting infection
  • How to avoid turning a 2-day cold into a 2-week setback
  • The Neck Rule that makes it simple: above the neck vs. below the neck



 True discipline isn’t pushing through sickness—it’s knowing when to rest.
