    Is it bad? Feeling a bit coldy and run down at the mo, but I really don't want to miss out on this nice weather. Is exercise going to hinder my recovery?

    If its on your chest, give it a rest. If its in your head go, er, ahead.

    If I'm well enough to feel like going for a potter on the bike then I do. If I'm too ill, I don't feel like riding anyway. If it's too much for you, your body will soon tell you.

    Gently does it. Hard exercise with a cold is linked to sudden adult death syndrome.

    My opinion tho is gentle exercise opens up the airways and you clear yur lungs.

    As Jojo says – listen to your body. go for a potter but no racing!

    I don't feel that bad, plus I never put that much effort in anyway.

    Thats the sudden adult death syndrome thing I think.

    Hence gently does it – no pushing yourself
