if you can avoid it, don't get the vaccine in the middle of a competition season. for somebody young and healthy, i would say don't get it at all, but that's gonna be a personal preference.

BUT. I am definitely a bit hesitant to get the COVID vaccine. The rushed preparation and lack of fully understood side effects has me waiting on the sidelines for now. I know this is very selfish, but I am worried that the vaccine will negatively affect my running. I have heard second hand that the vaccine mixed with running could cause heart damage (myocarditis), among a host of other potential side effects. Is anyone else nervous to receive this vaccine because of possible effects on running performance?
For background, I am an elite runner (2:16 marathon PB) who runs ~80-90mpw. Also I love a fairly isolated life so I don’t expect to put myself or others at risk of getting/spreading COVID in the first place.
Totally BS, you aren't an elite runner, nice try;)

It's unproven mRNA that causes blood clots and has no data about truly long term side effects. I never had it and never will
It's also unproven that the mRNA doesn't cause blood clots and that there are a lot of healthy athletes who've died after getting the shot while performing in their respective sport.
That didn't happen after getting the flu shot, but the covid farce shot...? Never mind, it's just gotta be a silly coincidence, nothing more;)
The large number of records being broken the past couple of years along with dozens of sub-4 collegiate milers has ended this debate.
I was forced to get it by my school district . I didn't see a point but I also had to get it - had covid twice once pre-jab and post-jab, and it was exactly the same.
