Need advice for returning to running from a upper respiratory virus

is the cause of your viral pneumonia the coronavirus because if it is stay of lets run before you get us all infected, there are some pro runners on here how would you feel if you gave them the coronavirus the week of the marathon trials.

just increase your mileage a little each time you run. don't do to much to soon. If you have any races planed your not going to run fast. I would not do any thing hard for a few weeks to a couple months

Do you think running 30 minutes at 8:45 pace or 9is ok? I feel very defeated. Has anyone been through this? I hate jogging, but feeling like l an running hard.

Did about 4 miles. Still having major breathing problems.

Suck it up, stop whining and just keep running.

strides are fine and probably won't hurt your recovery. I wouldn't do a full out sprint workout or anything.

Strides everyday vs easy runs?

It’s going to take some time to get back to where you were before hand. But good news for you is that you can for this time to work on the minor things as you rebuild. Focus on form and do lots of drills to help your body get stronger during this time. Might take 2 to 3 months to get back to great fitness but really just be grateful if didn’t put you out for good or kill you.

Good advice. Work on strength, drills etc. while going easy on the running. I've had pneumonia, although it was before I restarted running so can't say how long recovery to running fitness would've taken. It isn't pleasant and hangs around for a while, but long term there should be no effects. I don't notice any anyway. Good luck, and err on the side of caution for up to a year, I would say.
