I have not seen Kate Grace in any of the meets this year and she is not entered (as of today) in the USATF champs next week. Anyone have an update on her status?
KG had Covid (not sure when), and it developed into long-Covid (long haul Covid?). She's been struggling to get back. Too bad, too. She was doing really well.
Yeah, this is really disappointing. With how she was progressing, she would have gotten under 1:57 this year and been close to 1:56. I hope she can get back to where she was.
There is an entire article in runnersworld about her longcovid experience and she has detailed it on her instagram too. I'd link to it but seems I cannot because I am considered a "new user" although I have this account since years. Odd. anyhow a quick google will lead you to it.
How come virtually every normal person under 80 gets the sniffles after contracting covid but so many of these pro runners develop "long covid"?? It's a cold virus, Grace should have been affected for a week max. Something is not adding up.
Like the majority of team Boss, she got Covid. Unfortunately she’s suffering symptoms for the long haul. She’s trying her talents on TikTok and it’s cringeworthy
Long COVID set her back, she's back to training and we might see her in Diamond League later this Summer. Hopefully.
I NEVER heard of “Long COVID” before reading this post. I still laugh every time I hear that! what a crock! 🤣
The two sentences you strung together cannot possibly coexist, you cannot laugh every time you hear something that you never heard of until just now. The fact that you've never heard of long COVID makes you look stupid, the sentences you typed prove it.
COVID as a cold and the post viral syndrome are not mutually exclusive. I think athletes with “Long” COVID actually lend credibility to the syndrome, as in sedentary people it may be very difficult to properly diagnose (and is likely over diagnosed).
