The Running/Keeping Fit Thread

First run out since ****ing my foot up and then getting flu. So about 4 weeks. Bag of ****. Slow as a mutha****er and hit a brick wall at 7 miles. My 10k time was 50 minutes which is as slow as I've been for about 5 years. I ****ing hate being ill! Going to be a hard slog to get back to sub 40 for the 10 and any thoughts of a sub 1:30 half this year look utterly ****ed.

Bollocks!

Sub 40 for 10k ... really ? That is some going ... hope you get back up there

First run back after about 4/5 weeks out first through injury and then sheer laziness and reluctance to run given how ****ing cold it's been. Ran the 2 miles to the gym, was blowing out my ass after about 100 yards. Did some legs stuff in the gym, legs turned to jelly so walked most of the 2 miles back. Pretty pathetic all in all Gonna head out again tonight.

+6.5km. I've been ill for a week . Not quite 100% yet but decided to try a short run. It was a disaster to be honest, I felt horribly unfit . Hopefully once the illness clears my fitness will still be there. Going to try again tomorrow!

+6.8km first run in a while due to other (social) commitments, but really need to knuckle down for the marathon, it's only 60 days away!

Still bravely stupidly running through a bout of sickness at the moment. Feeling like I've lost about two months worth of fitness in one week of illness

Anyone else successfully ran through sickness before or is this a fools errand? Should I just rest? I've only got a month left so I feel like I need to keep my mileage up regardless.

I think the general rule is that its ok to run with mild illness unless its spread to your chest. Anything which might be exacerbated by coughing and panting your way around is not good.

Having said that however, I usually find if i'm in the final stages of a cough/cold, a run usually helps cough up all the last bits of gunk in a very satisfying manor (albeit the regular spitting probably isnt great for any spectators!)

****ing hell. Well done mate I'd have melted trying to run in 25C. When it gets to about 15C+ here I struggle

I'm taking it fairly easy this week (short run tomorrow) as I'm off playing golf for two days later in the week

I'm still aching a bit from my 10.5 mile run on Saturday!
