I get sick pretty often and they affect me A LOT in races since I'm small and little things affect me except in the past all I've had were worse things then colds such as virus's or things with fevers. All I've had yesterday and today is a sore throat, headache and clogged up nose which I'm assuming is a cold and I heard colds don't really affect it as much as the other sicknesses. So how much do you think this would affect a mile and 2 mile? And when will it go away?
Some studies have shown that having a cold does not affect your performance. But your system has to be open; no clogged up nose and throat, and you should be good to go. But I would probably sit this one through. Doing hard efforts when sick might result in myocarditis. Very easy aerobic activity would probably be better.
Thanks! I don't really have a choice though, since I have to race tomorrow, and my throat is better so its just a annoying headache and clogged nose. I have another race thirs, so Will it be gone by thursday?
I ran a pr with a clogged nose and I actually felt better afterwards I think the race helped my nose open up
