No, I imagine if having no head, or a head injury it would not be wise to train. However, if your cold symptoms are head based only, ie sniffly nose, bunged up, etc then, in my experience, and having read 'stuff', like in magazines and shit, training shouldnt really be affected. And recovery time from the cold hasnt been extended.
However, chesty cough + sore throat = a no no.
Ive raced while having had a cold, and it didnt effect my performance at all.
