Looking forward to being able to 10km again but that's still a good few weeks/months off.
I spoke to a nurse who said I won't do my self any damage if I run even if I have a long tail chest infection. I'm tempted to give it a go. How far do I run/attempt after that time? Do I just start running and see how I feel or come with a 2 mile, 3 mile etc slow build back up?
I'm not a doctor, but I'd say take it very easy for at least the first couple of runs. I can well imagine the frustration - my regular week is similar to your pre-illness schedule in terms of distance - so I can fully imagine the temptation to try to get back to normal quickly. But just look after yourself. I'd say have a few gentle outings and listen to your body.

I've just done my last run in January. I had a goal of 20k per week for the month, which I managed to do. I've mainly done 5, 7 or 8k routes, but I also threw in a 10 and a 12. I've done either 3 or 4 runs per week.
Pace has been easy, as I'm still trying be cautious following a knee problem in the autumn. I've been doing around 6:10 per km
For a couple of weeks I exceeded my distance goal a little bit. This last week I've been feeling a bit run-down, but I managed to do 20k, albeit in 4x5k runs, taking it really easy.
In total I've clocked up 97k in the month.
Pleased
My feedback thread is here.

I started from scratch (again) this month after running a couple of times in the whole of last year. Working my way up, so I am reasonably happy with this. I'm still running too fast most of the time, I think.
Just 30k for me.
I did manage my 2nd ever 10k, first was 4 years ago.
Also got a 5k pb since I started running again 3 months ago.
That's maybe why I also picked up a nasty calf injury and have been put of action for the last 10 days. Been over doing it I think.
The missus managed to stub her toe and give herself a severe spiral fracture so I haven't been managing my full complement of runs this month and as a result of that plus increased beer consumption I'm also 4 lbs heaver than in November. Hoping Feb starts to get a bit better though.

Lost 13 days through injury though.
