I started feeling a little sluggish about 6 days ago. I chalked it up to just work, running, etc. I then ran in a 4th of July local race. That is where I noticed I was exceptionally sluggish and much slower. So, that evening I took a rapid test. Positive.
Anyone else deal with this? I actually have very mild symptoms compared to some I have heard about.
Millions of people have dealt with it. If you feel off, rest. If you feel okay, try a short, easy run. Stick with that until you feel normal, maybe another week. If you start feeling worse, call off everything and see a doctor.
I'd wait until completely free of symptoms and a few days more after that before resuming training. Starting training too soon significantly increases the risk of a setback resulting in long covid.
Please rest until you are symptom free then rest some more. I wish I'd done this but by training before I'd completely recovered set me back at leasta month. It's not worth the risk. A few extra days / weeks rest is nothing in the grand scheme.
I trained by feel and didn't worry about the slight breathing difficulty. It was just my lungs producing more phlegm to protect them and ensure full recovery.
It was like a month of altitude training, that was my attitude and it served me well.

There are several threads like this on here… all with healthy, fit runners worried about losing fitness. You won’t; what you described is no different than any viral illness.
More importantly, you’re not going to “gain” fitness while sick, so take your time getting back to normal. Recovery from COVID is a little slower than colds or flu, so exercise can only delay that further.

How many of your friends, family, neighbors, and coworkers have died from a cold?

If i heard you exhibit any covid symptoms while running in my neighborhood, I'd threaten you (which I've done...no response) and publicly call you out on nextdoor...then inform you on nextdoor what will happen next.
Nobody has responded to any challenges or threats in my neighborhood...and I've made several
It tells me that California is tougher than Tennessee and the South is just a front for ingrained stupidity from great granmaw and great granpaw. .that just filtered any intelligence away little by little

Zero friends died of “COVID”
1. Has COVID been isolated yet?
2. How is it diagnosed? By symptoms? By a faulty test?
3. Only the old died. And they had co -morbidities. And how many people went in to a hospital just fine and later died in the hospital? Couldn’t visit them? What were they hiding in the hospital? The treatment caused the “scarring lungs” and pulmonary edema. Not some re branded cold/flu.
Wake up. 3 yrs of this scam. Only the vaxxed are sick now. They deserve it.
I had COVID in February. Tried running a week after symptoms left. Did not make it two miles. Hard to get a good breath. That went away after a couple of weeks, though

Fatigue, coughing, breathlessness, dizziness.... there are many varied symptoms...
