"I really need to get back into it. Just as I started again I got covid and I’m not sure if I’ve got some kind of long covid now. Had a permanent cough and cold for weeks. Can’t run very far at all. Before that was doing about 25 miles a week." I’ve heard of a lot of people that have experienced long term breathing issues post Covid. As with any illness or injury, it’s about listening to your body and not pushing yourself too hard. Be patient, it will come back in time | |||

 Feeling much stronger now so am hopeful I'll be ready for it. Have really missed the exercise, physically and mentally.

"Ah, lovely to see you back, Tea! I am attempting to restart couch to 5k again this week. It's been a 5 month gap due to covid fatigue - I was pooling round 5k twice a week before that. I did the first session six weeks ago and ended up in bed for a couple of days Feeling much stronger now so am hopeful I'll be ready for it. Have really missed the exercise, physically and mentally.
Mrs TMN x"Hi! Lovely to see you! As I wrote ^^ it can take time. Even longer than we’d hope or expect and it’s frustrating to wait for bodies to be better. Try to remember that recovery isn’t a linear process but does get there in the end | |||

I used to have bad knees when I started running but gradually the pains started reducing and now I'm pain free so keep going | |||

"I am currently recuperating after a big operation on my tummy but prior to that we feel that I too have some long covid symptoms as my lungs are not as strong as they were previous to contracting covid. I am also carrying an injury on my piriformis/glutes. I am looking forward to getting back to running but I am definitely not going to push myself to run too early. I have 2 events in the autumn, a 16 mile half trail/half road run over the Brecon Beacons and the Snowdon marathon. Good luck to everyone with your training. NBVN x" I’m sorry to hear that! It seems that illness/injuries are rife! Look after yourself | |||

"I did Alexandra Park Run (most of it) last Saturday but couldn't be bothered today! I did 4k in 25min, which isn't too shabby. Next time, I shall take the right route on the last lap. I'm training for 10k so should probably get my backside in gear and push another Parkrun next weekend..." At least you actually got to do Alexandra park this time! Good luck with the training | |||

"Started my couch to 5k last Oct . First try was a bit run bit walk bit run bit walk. Then Week later I thought fook it I'll run till I can't and I completed it lol now it's my weekend routine" There’s a lot of benefit from run/walk routines, the first couple of weeks of C25K incorporate that a lot. Being able to push past it is a good thing! Well done for keeping at it | |||

"Did quite a bit of running in my youth Im going to start again now as I need to lose the middle age spread and it helps sort your head out with all the issues I deal with daily " That’s a very good idea and it’s definitely good for mental and physical health. Good luck and keep us updated with how you get on | |||

lol
Anyway... the moral of my story is, if I can get to 5km, anyone can!!! Keep going, and if you really want it bad enough, you'll do it.
Happy running all | |||

Mrs TMN x"I'm also 5 months post covid and am still recovering. The mental drain has been unbelievable. I have had blood tests and no answers. Wasn't much of a runner before but did row, spin bike and cross trainer. Still hopeful I'll get through C25K one day | |||

"I took up running when we went into lockdown all those thousands of years ago - having convinced myself over more years than i can count on all digits that I wasn't built for running. Today I ran 11 miles - my last long run in my training plan for Milton Keynes half marathon in two weeks time. It is my first ever half marathon, and I can confidently say it will be my last!!! I just wanted a challenge this year. But now wondering why I didn't pick something like, oh, say, crocheting a scarf lol
Anyway... the moral of my story is, if I can get to 5km, anyone can!!! Keep going, and if you really want it bad enough, you'll do it.
Happy running all"That’s one hell of an achievement! Well done and good luck | |||

Happy running all"Congratulations and hope the half goes well. One thing I will say is that not everyone can run 5k, no matter how hard they try. Some of us can't run to the end of the driveway. There ARE other ways to convey oneself around 5k though  | |||
