Spring finally here! Some of my regular readers have e-mailed me and asked - how does a runner know when it is safe to run when sick? Some of you have various symptoms. These tips may help. When it is safe to run and when is it not safe to run? Well, that all depends on how sick you are. Some people say "sweat it out, continue running and you will get well faster." Others tell you, "you'd better not run. You should go home and get into bed." So what is a person to do when you are ill? Stay home and rest or go out and run? Actually, using your own common sense is usually better than seeking someone else's advice. For example, if you just have a minor cold or nasal congestion, an easy run at a slow pace will often help you feel better and boost your immune system as well. With the flu or a virus, however, the accompanying fever, headache, sore throat and overall weakness would probably indicate it would be best to not exercise for a few days. Just use common sense. Dr. Jack Scaff has developed a 20-minute test that you can use on yourself. As a cardiologist and the founder of the Honolulu Marathon Clinic, he is considered an expert on the care and treatment of runners. Go To Page: 1 2
