Just had my first bout of covid a couple of weeks ago. Noticed my heart rate seems to be about +20bpm what it was prior to the virus. Finding it much too easy to get up to max heart rate. Anyone got any advice to easing back into training?

Take it very very very easy… I had my coach not let me ride until I was one week without any symptoms, and then after that we did around 2-3 weeks of just noodling around, easy riding, starting from 30min rides, to 45min, then 60min etc. Take it easy, it’s no joke with postcovid from going too hard…

Awful headache but nothing else (very thick line on the test I did before not going into school for 5 days). Didn’t ride those 5 days but was back on it - intervals, long rides within the week. How…

At that point, I was pretty much in the best shape of my life. Spent 3 days in bed, then back to training. Heart rate between 10-20 higher than before …

Shortly after catching it, I tried to do a few workouts and could barely turns the cranks. I didn’t finish any of them. I …

I’ve only had it once and everyone’s experience is going to be different but I waited for symptoms to resolve and then started doing low intensity Z2 rides on the trainer (where I could control the effort and watch my HR) did stuff like Lazy Mountain or Recess. I didn’t start these workouts until I …

Lots of experiences detailed here: [image] Well... I got COVID. Starting over Training Despite my best, very thorough efforts, I got COVID. I had taken August off of any meaningful training, kind of an “off-season.” I had planned on getting started again with SSB1 LV on S…

My daily journal of my experience is fairly near the end of that thread and has loads of detail. Since my last post saying I felt like I was back to where I left off before I got sick, I have now completed one full build block and a recovery week. I’m setting season power PRs again and expect to s…
