Running with ear infection

I found out on Saturday I have a ear/sinus infection that has been kicking my butt. I'm finally feeling like I have enough energy to run, but I'm still feeling pressure and pain in my ear, and a really tight cough. Should I hold out another day to see if I feel better, or should I just suck it up and get out there? I have not been this sick in years, and this is the first time I've been sick since I started running consistently. I hate that I've taken off this much time (it's been over a week since I last ran), and I'm afraid I'm losing whatever ground I've gained back in the last couple weeks since joining a 5K training group.

Re: Running with ear infection

  • Personally, I would not run with an ear infection or even the tail end of one. I used to get ear infections all of the time and they are the worst. Take care of yourself and run when you feel 100% better.
  • I'd take a few extra days off. You won't lose all of your fitness in a few days or even a week.

    This. I know my equilibrium is majorly effected so I have to be careful and rest up. Feel better!
