I ran Orkney marathon with a cold in full swing.
After a few miles, HR was over 175 when it would normaly have been around 150- 155 for the effort, so knew it wasn't going to end well. Made it to 18 miles, pacing a team mate, but then the inevitable wall appeared and had to walk for a good while.
Finished with a time I'd normaly cover a marathon on an easy long run. However Strava Suffer score was over 600 and if took weeks to recover from š³Won't be doing that again.

Drugs advice please. Iāve got Abingdon marathon on Sunday and been developing a sore throat all week. Today Iāve come out with full on sneezy snivelly cold. What can I take tomorrow and Sunday morning to minimise itās impact on my run.
Iām a bit short of long runs this year but 20k runs at āmarathon paceā seem to suggest Iām reasonably close to pb form. Iāve had to miss all my other planned races this year so all my eggs are in this basket...
