I’m still struggling hard 2 weeks post Covid. My labored breathing is slowing me down and cutting runs short. It’s really frustrating and makes me question whether I can start training for a fall marathon next month.

scm1011 I really hope everything clears up for you soon! I can imagine your frustration at it.

Thanks! Small potatoes compared to what you’ve dealt with health wise, but definitely frustrating.

scm1011, Sorry to hear you're struggling. Do you feel you lost what you built up from your half training? I hope it comes back to you quickly so you can marathon train.

Fri: 5 mile walk
Sat: 6 mile outdoor hot and humid run
Sun: 5 mile treadmill run

And I’m definitely missing my jif. My store brand pb just isn’t the same 😩


scm1011, I’m sorry you are struggling! Hopefully you have enough of a base that you’ll be ok!

Fri - nothing
Sat - ran 4 mi, swam 40 laps
Sun - nothing

Work and volunteering are kicking my ass right now. Things should ease up a little pretty soon, hopefully.
Thanks for mentioning the peanut butter sadlebred. I meant to say something here if someone else didn’t first since we were all raving about it last week!

Yes, I'm struggling to run 2 miles at a 10:30 pace when I ran a half easily at a 9:30 pace 5 days before I tested positive. I'm hoping if I keep at it things will improve - I have a month before I really need to worry!

Friday-nothing
Saturday 5 miles easy
Sunday 5 miles easy

Heat and humidity have been kicking my butt this past week but things have cooled off a bit here so I'm glad to have a break for a few days! scm1011, I hope things get better for you soon!

Fri: 30 min walk
Sat: 30 min peloton cycle
Sun: some yoga, but not much

I'm having another episode of low back pain where I get muscle tightness/spasms and lots of pain, so not much exercise is happening at the moment. I've been having this occasionally over the last 3 years. Finally made a doctor appointment. I guess I have flat back syndrome and some disc degeneration I will start PT but its frustrating to know this is something I will be dealing with forever. I've been so good at stretching and yoga lately, too!

scm1011 I'm sorry. It took me a while to get back to where I was before having covid. It did happen though.

breezy8407, I am having issues with my back too. I was prescribed a muscle relaxer that seemed to help a bit as well as some specific exercises to do. I hope you get some relief soon! PT can be so helpful; but definitely annoying as well.

[scm1011]

breezy8407, good to know - thanks! Sorry to hear about the back and disc issues, that's frustrating. Maybe it would be worse without all the yoga and stretching you've been doing? In any case, I hope PT helps.

[breezy8407]

scm1011, melmel48 Thank you both. I did get an Rx for a muscle relaxer, so that should help. I was thinking about yoga. Its totally possible I am doing too much or positions that are not favorable. I hope the PT can help me with figuring that out.
