On this week’s episode this is something for everyone—the common cold, those pesky viruses that always seem to hit us when we’re in good shape and making great progress on our training plans. Dr. Juliet McGrattan explores the risks and benefits of exercising when you have a cold. Will exercise make you feel better? Will it make you feel worse? What type of exercise should you do? With a run through of the symptoms that suggest exercising might not be the best thing for you, this podcast is very practical and helpful because, let’s face it, we all get colds from time to time. As Dr. Juliet points out, it’s mostly about common sense but sometimes common sense leaves us when we’re really focused on a goal. Sometimes easing off and resting up is the best thing to do.
