First post covid run!

[Oldlady64]

I’ve been taking it gently since catching covid, but am feeling ready to start the running again.

I’ve done some fast walking earlier this week and yesterday got out for my first run. It went really well!

I did take it easy but it felt comfortable so I kept going…. And ran at a decent pace for well over 30 minutes.

I’m very happy with this all, so it an onwards and upwards 😁.

As someone who is currently at the tail-end of covid and missing my running, this is great to hear - well done!🙂

[Oldlady64 in reply to Sandraj39]

I had virtually no symptoms but waited more than three weeks after my first negative test result. I did a few faster walks first and things seemed ok so I gave the run a go!

Hope you are feeling stronger now?

[Oldlady64 in reply to Oldfloss]

I feel fit and well and looking forward to getting to some park runs soon! Thanks.

So glad you are well again COVID saps energy long after the initial symptoms have faded

[Oldlady64 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Covid does indeed do this, so it really is a good idea to take it easy and not rush back into exerting!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Oldlady64]

Yes it is

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate]

Just great.. it is one heck of a feeling isn't it... I know EXACTLY how you felt! My second yesterday... 30 minutes too! x

[Oldlady64 in reply to Oldfloss]

Fantastic! I’m away on a work trip until the weekend now but will pick it up again at the weekend I hope 😆
