Over the years, I have learned what the different aches and pains of getting sick means. Some I can train through. Some I just spin to help the legs feel better. Other I just stop and sleep.
This year, when I felt something coming on, I stopped training. Just did not feel right. Ended up missing 2.5 days of work (I almost never miss work for being sick) and did not train for over 2 weeks.
How do you feel? If it is only in your head (above the neck), give training a go. If below the neck, stop. If stuff is going around your house or work, stop for a day or two and get extra sleep. Best case, you are more rested and ready to train. Worst case, you still get sick but perhaps your body is more on top of it than it would have been otherwise.
