My Forum

I had this recently. i went to the doctors and was advised that had a chest infection, was given some antibiotics and told to increase inhalers useage (both blue and brown)

 I then took a week off and now am back running and have a mara on the 16th Oct. I would go to the docs and they would give the best advise, but if your panting and puffing and it dosen't get any better DO NOTrun, there will always be another race and it's better to run it being 100% fit.

Hi Sarah,

If you're going to rrun it take it easy as you don't want to overdo things and make yourself worse!! I am fighting a  chest infection and have my 2nd mara in 3wks, so I know how frustrating it can be

 Team B- My advise wasn't to have a cocktail of drugs, the advise was to take something as it might help and beechams tends to clear cold/flu like systems for me.

Let us know how you get on and best of luck x

Hi Sarah,

 I would defo recommend rest, rest and more rest!! If you're still feeling rubbish on Sat then I personally wouldn't run it as you'll feel even worse afterwards, and to be honest there will always be another half to run.

Get plenty of sleep, feed a cold (as my nan says ) and drink lots of water. I try all the drugs going, Beechams, night nurse etc but then I have no paitence for being ill.

Get well soon x

Hiya All,

 Hope everyone is keeping well and are still running merrily....

Well I've completed my first Marathon, very good times!!!

Got a PB for a half, 2hrs 15 (knocked off 4mins)

Got a PB for  a 10miler

Have lots of races (10k's, halves and another Marathon) this year and my races are getting quicker

How's everyone's goals going??
