Returning to running after COVID

Coronavirus Running-related

1 year ago 12/15/2022 6:58pm EST

I got COVID 3 weeks ago. I was symptom free after a week and testing negative after 9 days. I isolated at home for those 9 days. I went for a jog about 14 days after first testing positive, and a full week after being symptom free, and I couldn't stop caughing for two days after that. I waited another day and when I was symptom free again, went for another jog and boom, more coughing. I also caugh after an extended period of speaking. Did anyone else have a comeback experience like this. My doctor just said take a month off from running, but that sounds quite extreme.

Oh wow didn't realize COVID could cause Asthma. Thanks, for this. I'll follow up with my doctor. This does check out upon further research.

I had covid a couple weeks ago, coughing was my main symptom. Slight congestion a couple days. I ran the whole time, mostly on my treadmill.

Take a month off from running? Absolutely not, that is the dumbest thing. Your doctor must not run. You're fine if you physically feel fine from running and you just have to cough. Take some cough drops, that helped me. The cough will potentially be gone any day, it won't last forever.

Yeah sounds pretty crazy to me too. Doctors are always so conservative and used to dealing with out of shape people. My symptoms were just a terrible headache the first day, then a very mild cough (once per hour type of cough) for a few days, then symptom free for the remainder of my 14 days that I isolated to help prevent spreading it (since I could work from home anyways). I think I had asthma as a child and during cross country of highschool. It went away as an adult. I am a pretty bad runner by letsrun standards, but at 37 I am fitter now (1:25 half marathon) than I was when I was running competitively.

I had covid a few weeks ago but my main symptoms were flu like symptoms and mild congestion. I probably coughed only a handful of times-it wasn’t a main symptom at all.

anyway after a week off, I returned to running and noticed after I would finish I would cough for a short period. And then I was fine. That lasted maybe a week and now I don’t cough after running.

Bump. I got almost exactly the same experience and symptoms.

How is everyone doing? A month after infection, I'm back at 75-80% of my peak mileage. My medium-long runs aren't noticeably harder or slower than before, but anything at mile race pace and faster has taken a big hit. I'd say I'm about 3 sec/lap slower than I was 5 weeks ago. 600 repeats that used to be done in 1:50 are now taking 1:54-1:55.
