I have been on antibiotics for a week (last dose this am) for a throat infection. i feel great now but want to start run walking tonight at club night. can i or do i need to wait a couple of days before the penicillin is out of my system?
am keen to start as i have entered a race (my first in about 18 months) for 7th june!!!

    penicillin won't affect your performance in any way - the residual throat infection might..........if you feel fine, go for it but take it easy

    thanks FB. not worried about it affecting my performance as i am too slow anyway. the penicillin has well and truly knocked the throat infection on the head; i feel 100% better. will be taking it easy though on your recommendation. thanks again.
