Potential longer term affects of Pfizer Jab on HR whilst running

It could be literally 100 different things, especially if you're using a wrist-based HRM.

The word you are looking for is effects.

Lol. Yes, just another coincidence.

Distance runners are extreme exercisers compared to the masses so an adverse effect that the average person might not notice could have a significant impact on running performance.

Several months ago, I started a thread on LetsRun to poll posters for whether or not they had any adverse effects from the jab. Of course, it drew the usual trolls, but I did get some responses. It was...

Adverse effects after vaccination:

No: 22

Yes: 1 plus another who was on the fence whether it was an effect of the vaccine

Mods, it might be a good public service for runners to have a thread where posters could post any adverse effects from covid or the vaccine and report what helped alleviate the problem. This could be a great public service to the running community IF we control the trolls and the pro-vax and antivaxx posters.

It should be limited to registered posters and have some specific guidelines to prevent trolling.

I'd suggest limiting comments to their personal experience or runners in their regular running community. Second hand reports of "I know a guy who knew a guy" should be deleted. Posts promoting vaccines or anti-vaxx should be deleted. There are plenty of other threads to post that stuff.

I bet you got a mild case of COVID a few weeks ago (only mild and not severe due to the jab) and you may never ever get back to 'normal.' But at least you didn't get a worse case, you wouldn't be running at all otherwise.
