When you get sore throat n flew-ish symptoms....will you get better quicker if you lay out in the sun, or go running?

No: Your body needs to rest while it it healing itself. Also the sun produces ultraviolet rays that can inhibit the immune system in the skin.

Neither: If you feel like you might have the flu, would recommend that you hydrate well & resting. Both sunbathing and running can be taxing to the body. Save your energy for healing.
