Seriously, the manflu feels terminal already, but I have a 230 mile, 12500 ft climb road ride this weekend for charity. Will it kill me?

I’ve heard a marathon run with a bad cold can put additional stress on the heart….

Probably. Still, could be worse.

Yes you will die. Then explode. If you are really unlucky you will contract AIDS shortly after the explosion. Or not, I’m not a doctor.

I’m not sure that charity ever killed anyone…… on purpose…

There is a slight link between hard exercise with a cold and sudden death. I would not do this unless its cleared up

Hmmmm, 4 posts in response and not a single MTFU.

I’m doing it, even if it will kill me. I just want to know if it will. If certain, I don’t have to try to hard getting the minimum sponsorship. 😀

Depends on how bad it is.. viruses can seriously zap your strength and stamina.. If its on your chest then its gonna hurt climbing that much.
Extreme cases you can get pneumonia or death

Oh, go on then…Time for this old chestnut!

I’d say that was a given..

That’s more like it CFH!

Don’t worry at all about the weekend challenge because if you have real man flu you won’t see the morning, get on phone to loved ones and if you have time , hated ones and tell them all what you think, if there’s any more time maybe a quick will to save the arguing, see you on the other side. Hope this helps!!!
