I train with a heart rate moniter, so should every one!!
and when getting ready to go out for run/bike i put it on for about 5 minutes before i start my session and it usually sits about 55bpm whist walking about getting ready.
but today I have a bit of a cold, don't feel like crap, but have runny nose soar throat etc...
and my heart rate was at 75bpm!!! alot higher than usual!
I thought I would start my session which was gunna be a 2 hour run in zone 1 125-137bpm! and I could not keep my heart rate below 140 without walking !!!! so I called it a day after 25mins!!
Just thought I would share that with ya[;)]

I followed some advice from various people on here, and then my doctor's afterwards.
I think it is best not to train for 4/5 days and let your body fully recover. You will be surprised by how little fitness you will loose.
