Returning to sport following COVID-19 infection

[@alexm1841]

I returned to marathon training one month after first testing positive for Covid. I was fine for a few weeks but then developed bronchitis. I also have a history of asthma, and that really really started to act up. I’ve been on steroid inhalers for the past two months, antibiotics for the bronchitis, and running is at a standstill right now. I used to be able to run 15 miles at an easy pace breathing only through my nose. Now, walking up one flight of stairs leaves me winded. And I constantly feel like something is sitting on my chest.😩

Man… 1 month later and I’m doing much better. Running 20-25 miles per week, every other day at a relaxed pace. I can keep my breathing under control at least.

@@alexm1841 Hi there, I am a Ultra Runner who got Covid 13 days ago. Knocked the hell out of me. Coughing like a trooper, and very worried how long I might be out for.
