    Hello, this is my first time posting on this forum! Just looking for some advice - I am generally very healthy but the past week I have bronchitis and am wheezy + coughing. Ergo I have forgone my training plan for the past week for my 1st 10k on Saturday July 20th. Do ye think I should pull out? Has anyone gone running with these type symptoms?
    Thanks!

    Not in the business of giving medical advise here- but its generally accepted that running with an infection in your chest/lungs is a really bad idea and can lead to serious complications.

    not a doctor but just going from my own experience don't do it - much as you'll be tempted very likely to end up in a worse state than you started with.
