Colds. Train through them?

What about the round bit behind your glasses....

It had rotted too much from lack of use since my back injury!

Answer to my own question.

I went for a ride Friday. 10 mile, hilly loop. Saturday I woke up coughing like an 80 year old who'd smoke 60 a day. Sunday the cough is worse. Bugger!

Stay in and recover and learn what your body was saying to you recently.

Also get well soon.

I don't train, but I once started a 55 mile night ride with a minor chesty cough. It very quickly felt as though my lungs were being irrigated with sulphuric acid...utter misery. I gave up at the halfway stop having been pitifully slow, wheezing horribly. A runny nose isn't too much of a problem for me, but with a yucky cough, I throw in the towel.

Way back when we were told not to exercise when having a viral infection as it's linked to viral myocarditis..............

Frankly anybody who goes and does vigorous exercise while infected with a cold is an idiot. The risks are well known and it's also well known that improvement in athletes happens during the rest days so why on Earth would you want to double stress your body as well as risking more serious illness?
