What do you do when you’re sick? I mean, do you train or just wait until you get better? I must say that I can’t wait until I’m completely healed. I just make a pause for a day or two, that is when I feel very bad, and as soon as my temperature drops and I can breathe I’m up on my feet and ready to run. My mother always criticizes me about this, but I can’t explain her that I don’t want to lose my routine.

Come on, man! You’re exaggerating! Of course you have to wait until you’re completely fine, because you can permanently damage your health if you continue doing what you do. Even if you think that doesn’t have any consequences, you’re wrong because sometimes the results of such a behavior appear years later and I guess you don’t want to end up with some chronic lung disease and have difficulties with breathing. So, when you’re sick and still persist with training, you additionally exhaust your body and your immunity weakens. So, don’t train when you’re sick. Besides, do you think that training under such circumstances can have any positive effects? How much can you improve your performance when you train and can hardly breathe?

I think it depends on how sick you are. Sometimes you wake up with a slight cough or runny/stuffy nose. That's not that big of a deal, but yeah if you are coughing your lung out, then definitely take some time and get better.

Sometimes is better to wait day or two, rather than make things worse.

I would definitely wait until it's over. It is important to get some rest, drink a lot of fluids, stuff yourself with fruit, eat as little as possible junk food and avoid smoking.
Once the illness is over, you can go back to running. You won't miss anything for a few days!
