Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I have Laryngitis, what started out as a sore throat on Monday turned into complete loss of voice by Tuesday evening. I feel fine, there is no pain, my throat does feel quite dry most of the time. Any info/advice on how soon I can start running again.

I had exactly this last week - I was inaudible from more than two foot away and when I could get any noise out, I sounded like my voice was breaking (and I'm normally a baritone).

The good news is that:

a) I went running three times that week without any ill effects - I had one crap run in tha time, but that was more due to setting off too fast up a hill and not being a morning person; and
b) The laryngitis went better within 3-4 days by itself...

I looked up a couple of general health threads about exercising with laryngitis / head colds. The general advice seems to be that it depends if the symptoms extend below the neck. If you’re coughing and spluttering a lot, it might be worth giving yourself a rest for a few days, but if the symptoms are just in the head / throat area, it’s generally OK to run through it…*

* N.B. may not apply in all circumstances (e.g. decapitation)

Got something to say?
