Hi! New to the site but looking for advice. I’m a student athlete for my college’s soccer team, but I’ve been training all summer to run a marathon with my brother not only to increase my aerobic fitness, but mainly as a combined fitness goal to work towards together. The marathon is this Saturday, but I recently have been feeling a bit sick, so I went to the doctor today and they diagnosed me with mono. I told the doc about my marathon, and she said it would be fine to run it if I was feeling okay and no contact occurred. I really, really still want to run this marathon, and I know my brother would absolutely take it slow with me so we both finish, even if I’m sick and slow, but I wanted advice on whether or not this will put me behind on getting rid of the thing. I plan to take 2 weeks off after the marathon anyway. Please let me know! I’m new to distance running and looking to improve my knowledge and practices.
