To run or not to run (...when you're sick)?
"David Nieman, Ph.D., who heads the Human Performance Laboratory at Appalachian State University, and has run 58 marathons and ultras, uses the "neck rule." Symptoms below the neck (chest cold, bronchial infection, body ache) require time off, while symptoms above the neck (runny nose, stuffiness, sneezing) don't pose a risk to runners continuing workouts." http://www.runnersworld.com/article/0,7120,s6-241-286--9082-0,00.html.
Looking for some validation to run and I'm not finding it. I like the "neck rule," makes sense...but no running for me. |
