Someone from my Uni died last year doing it due to the strain on his body. He had a heart attack. Or at least don't push yourself too much! Dont run while ill.

I'm not sure if it's that my body is already in high gear because it's trying to fight something off and I'm able to really push it, but regardless of the "why" I usually have a fantastic couple of runs before I get sick, and once I do get sick it never lasts long.

I do have a hard time when allergies kick in and it is nice outside and I have to be stuck inside on a treadmill, though. Thanks for the post! My nose runs every time I run so that is no biggie.

It is above my left temple and my eye is black and blue. How long should I wait to run after getting a pretty big goose egg on my head? It is above my left temple and my eye is black and blue.

I believe that the energy that normally/routinely would have been spent on exercise contributes to speeding up healing. Nice to see your comments. I’ve also been thinking about this recently.

I exercise all the time when I'm sick (that didn't come out right - I really don't get sick often) and I really think it helps me heal faster. Thanks for backing me up! Now if I could just get people to stop glaring at me as I snot all over the cardio equipment (hey, I wipe up.) Great article Amanda!

My problem that when I get into a good gym routine, I get sick. Then I have the hardest time going back because I feel out of shape and wind up not exercising for a few weeks...or more. Any advice?!
