I am on day 4. First two days were rough (fever,chills, muscle aches) but then that went away and the past two days really just mainly dealing with congestion. I don’t want to jump into running when I’m not recovered but also starting to get antsy now that I’m feeling a bit better. When did you all start running after getting it??
The Return To Play (RTP) protocol assuming no complications during the acute phase is 2 weeks after you were symptom free. Take it easy.
2 weeks. Others who I know that tried running sooner said that they 'weren't quite well enough' for it, and waited a few more days before trying again.
3 days off, January 2020. Ran 3200 PR 10 days later.
4 days off, May 2021. Felt like a cold.
2 days off, February 2022. Felt great, took supplemental ivermectin and vitamin D to help.

I trained through it like I do with any corona virus I contract.
2 weeks!? Was not expecting that. I feel like this is going to run it’s course in 5-6 days.
But I may wait a bit longer due to my heart rate being elevated even at rest (90-115) over the past couple days and fatigue.
I took 6 days off. Ran on day 7 and felt like crap. Ran a few more times before I Ran a 10 mile race two weeks after. Race was slower because I kept HR under 160 and HR was elevated 5-10 beats for about 5 weeks.
after that everything sort came back to normal
I ran 5 miles the first day I had it. I then took 5 days off but only 2 of that was because of the covid, the other 3 were because I was on vacation and was doing other things. I hiked 8 miles on Mount Saint Helens a week after I came down with it. I was back to normal training 2 days later once I got home.
Unless you still feel sick, you don't need 2 weeks off.
Yep, 2 weeks from when you're symptom free. That's the agreed protocol for any we'll trained athlete. Read up on RTP. Do what you want of course but that's the advice which is what you asked for.
Never stopped. Why should I?
I'm old but just ran through it. Expect to be tired more than usual. It was 6 weeks til back to "normal".
I ran through it and raced a 1500 on the tail end. PR’d with a 3:41 low
Who agreed?
3 days off, two with fever. Tired and slow for about three weeks and had lingering airway inflammation, coughing. Six weeks out ran a marathon, about 10 minutes slower than recent times.
Nine weeks out felt fully restored to pre-COVID shape and that was confirmed in a 5K.
