Colds
I did the Goring 10K in mid-February when I was just coming out of a chesty cold or mild flu. I'd felt terrible for a few days, and it was touch and go whether I'd make it. On the day I was better, but still well below par, but I decided to do it anyway. Once the race got under way I was OK. In fact I ran a PB that day.
It really depends on just how unwell you are. If you're recovering now, I'd say you'd definitely be OK to run next weekend, but you also want to be in a position to run at least a couple of times during the week just to top up your fitness a bit.
The advice is a bit bland, but it just depends how you feel during your midweek runs. If you find you're fighting for breath it's probably not a good idea to run at all, never mind do a race. But you should be OK.
