I nearly always feel better after 5-10 minutes of a warmup jog when I have a bit of a cold.

Some doctor said on TV yesterday that when patients took 8000mg of Vitamin C during the onset of the cold, the cold vanished. 8000mg seems like quite a bit. I mean, was that one sitting or what? ...'cause your body wouldn't absorb that much at one time.
Anyway, despite what the crackhead said, some extra Vitamin C might help.

Even a full day of rest would be okay. It will probably help you more than hurt you.
I would still be doing my full routine though.
It's all up to you.Scheizekopf

Also, with respect to short-term versus long-term, it's up to the individual to decide. Resting one or two days so that you can work out indefinitely is better than forcing it today and missing four days.
Again, it's important to know thy body as best you can.

Listen to your body! If it needs rest, give it rest. If you don't feel like runing, don't run. Everytime I push my body hard during a cold, it takes twice as long to get over, and I end up with crappy technique and low reps as the result.

8000mg would be like over 100 pieces of citrus fruit. I take 1000mg every day and plan on trying this 6000-9000mg next time I start to get a cold. Too bad ever since I started eating clean I've only gotten sick once, and you could barely call that time getting sick.Originally Posted by power pressHistory: Mar, 2001: 135lbs @ ~14% | Nov, 2004: 245lbs @ ~40% | Dec, 2006: 168lbs @ 5.5%ish | Nov, 2008: 177lbs @ 5.5%ish | Dec, 2016: 179lbs
