Craig Engels = Long Covid victim

How many boosters did he have? “Long Covid” is code for vax damage.

Right…because Covid booster shots were so prevalent back in 2019.

Long what victim?
Excuses, excuses, excuses!
Stop crying and start training properly and smart.
No elite athlete lives in a van.
You need proper rest to train at your full potential, and you cannot achieve that if you don't have a real normal bed.
I get you want to be so cool, with the moustache, the long hair only at the back of the head and all that, ok, but a van??? Seriously? Come on!

I don't think his problem was the vaccine, but I also find it hard to believe he had Covid in December 2019. Of course, you can't prove he did or didn't since there were also no Covid vaccines back then, but almost no one had Covid back on Dec 2019. It's extraordinarily unlikely that he did. I'm sure he thinks he did but he probably just had some run of the mill cold or virus which may have affected him long-term. Or his problems could be something totall different.

* Covid tests, not Covid vaccines

If you followed his social media over the last couple years, its pretty obvious there are 2 major things that have held him back:

1. Injuries
2. He likes to have fun and isn't in love with training and the sport. He probably "enjoys" it still but the grind wears you down.

Best way to get long COVID is to be unvaccinated

Listening to his interview it sounds as though he needs to review Herb Elliot’s training and also focus on respiratory muscle training My guess is he is also more likely to be a tad dehydrated and has room to improve nutritionally to improve FEV1

Mild COPD far more likely this most obvious with sustained quality work

Yeah... Might be time to get refreshed on the current thinking of the pandemic origins. Likely an August/September 2019 accidental lab leak at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

As others have pointed out sleep is as much his job as training or nutrition. Trying to sleep in a van down by the river certainly does not help.

Although I do think there is something to the long term affects of covid. I had strange nose bleeds for a year afterwards and I never had nose bleeds before. It is a strange virus.

How's Kate Grace doing, did she ever race again? There's lots more pros past three years who never made it back but I remember her distinctly.

Nice job getting so called “vaccine” and dont get me started on the people that got boosters.

looks like the vaccinated shouldn’t of helped these companies make billions and not shoved needle in their bodies without any research

I actually feel bad for everyone who did this. You’ve been duked.

something tells me craig engels wasn't vaxxed when he got long covid in 2019/2020.

He was running great in 2019.

On July 28, 2019 Engels won the 1500m final at the 2019 USATF Outdoor Championships. Engels ran a 3:44.93, beating out 2016 Olympic gold medalist Matthew Centrowitz by 0.04 seconds in a tactical race which displayed the advantage of commanding the race from the front in lane 1.
On September 6, 2019 Engels finished 5th in the 1500 at the Diamond League final in Brussels, Belgium running a PR of 3:34.04. His time was under the Olympic Standard (3:35.00).
Engels finished 10th in the IAAF World Championships 1500 final in Doha, Qatar on October 6, 2019. He faded out of medal contention in the last 600 meters but still ran 3:34.24, just .20 off his personal best

Both Stewy McSweyn and Filip Ingebrigtsen were vaccine damaged.

Watch coverage of any of their races and the announcers will claim it was Covid that hurt them

He ran great in 2019.

No races for anyone in 2020. Remember?

His racing in 2021 -2023 was down from 2019.

Kate Grace was struggling with long covid, but she also had a baby recently. Social accounts make it look like she's getting back into some base training right now. I hope she can get back on the track again, she was really clicking a couple years ago after switching to Bosshard and it was exciting to see.
