Running with post covid fatigue

[RunningYogi02]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone had any experience of doing couch to 5k with post covid fatigue? I had nearly finished the programme in October before I got covid but started from the beginning this week, which wasnt as challenging as I thought and I did feel a bit more energised after but unsure long-term how helpful it may be thanks

Welcome to the forum and well done on getting started.This article may help yourcovidrecovery.nhs.uk/yo...

Basically, take it easy and be kind to yourself. C25k is designed to be undertaken at a gentle jog, so no point exceeding that.

This guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

and includes advice on minimising impact, stretching after every run, hydration and strengthening exercises, all of which will help.

Enjoy your journey.
