I didnt run yesterday, and now i should definitely run today. I was thinking though, if i shouldnt run today, as it could be more stress on my system(i have sore throat/fever) or is it possible the sweating/cardio from running will be good for your body?

if my head hurts than no. If my nose is running and I have a cough than yes because I find the running actually helps to clear me up.

My respiratory system screams in pain when I run with a cold. That said, when I ran competitively, I ran no matter what.
