Tested positive for Covid 3 weeks ago and continued to test positive for 12 days straight (with a thick red line). I think I must have been exposed to a high viral load whilst at a seated gig.
I carried on working (from home) for the first 2 weeks (because I had deadlines to meet) but I've had to take time off this week because I am just so exhausted. I probably shouldn't have pushed on through it.
The fatigue I've been feeling in the past 2 weeks has been terrible. I haven't been able to exercise at all, just the occasional walk. I was regularly running 10 miles up until I got Covid.
This is the second time I've had covid (last April I also tested positive for 12 days) and I'm fully vaccinated.
The fatigue this time has been much worse.
Have other people experienced a similar recovery process? I'm wondering how best to plan and pace myself.
I was aiming to run a half-marathon in May and I'm wondering when to start running again. Maybe some run/walks to start off?
Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
