do you think running in a crap environment can make you get the lurgy more
I have been plagued with coughs and colds and the flu for the last 4 months particularly the last 2 months and it is getting rather blooming annoying now! I have a lot on my plate at the moment, literally never a spare minute in my day and had put it down to being a bit run down BUT I realise the other thing that has changed is that I am running in the morning in rush hour when there is loads of traffic and I guess I am gulping pretty yukky air - maybe this isn't helping either?
Do you think i should move to the countryside?
plenty of air here today - blowing a gale
Second week now and still feel grotty/snotty. Tried to train (and race!) through it ... idiot.
The weakness and aching legs are among the worst I've had with a cold. Hope I can see it off (with help from 1000mg VitC) this week.
This winter I wondered if running at night in the trees in the mist made me more susceptible to colds - so I stopped doing it!! I also stopped training in the mornings a year or two back 'cos I thought that might be a problem - but that was because I was half asleep rather than because of the fumes (I was training in the hills at the time)
