Run for Fun | Running and illnesses

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) - In this week's episode of Run for Fun, the focus is on what to do when you get sick. Olympic runner Noah Lyles made headlines when he raced just two days after testing positive for Covid. The rules allow athletes to make the decision if they want to participate even with a positive test, but it showcases how much runners want to push through illness when it comes to racing. Many runners like the consistency of their daily run and try to stay healthy enough to stick to that regime. Inevitably, the sniffles or a cough will happen, and Coach Maria and Leigh Spann discuss how an illness can impact daily runs.
