Might be worth checking out, many of my athletes over the years have been more prone to illness if they found they had lower iron levels (ferritin or hemoglobin, but ferritin mostly). Hasn't had to be full blown anemia, just lower than ideal. Just a thought if it continues and you're still searching for an answer....could be worth ruling in or out and its just a simple blood test.

In the club-system of the Nordic countries all endurance athletes learn to never ever train even with the lightest cold. Everyone knows the risk of myocarditis - from training with colds.
My iron is naturally above normal levels.
Allergies? Mine flare up bad enough to miss a day or two of training at least once a month.
Long covid?
May 8 in the USA. (May 9 in Russia)
Myocarditis doesn't result from colds, but he said he was a pure blood so I'm not sure

This happened to me for 4 months during cross season. I was getting sick every other week. For track I started getting a lot more sleep and eating way more. Taking vitamin C seems to help. One of the biggest things is when you get sick don’t try to train through it. Stick to 4-7 miles a day with no speed and let yourself recover.
100% agreed. Also got sick during cross, trained through it, and felt like sht for months. Got the same sickness/symptoms during tracks, took it easy for a week, and was better by the end of it. Not scientific by any stretch, but it worked for me, and preventative measures like sleep and eating right helps a bunch.
never tested positive
