Damn it, so close!
Still, maybe the vaccine will help you fight it? Although the antibodies take a couple of weeks to develop but who knows, every day some do develop, every new one helps.
Hope you pass it easy!!!
Target training paces (min/km), calculated from 5K PR 22:49 :
Easy run : 5:48
Tempo run : 4:50
VO2-max run :4:21
Speed form run : 4:02

---

it's the biggest trick in the run game.. go slow to go fast. it doesn't make sense until it smacks you in the face and you're like ....... wtf?

Yeah who knows, I'm not really sure - hopefully it'll have some positive effect. It's been quite mild (as would be expected in my demographic) and definitely feel better than a few days ago so hopefully past the worst!

My experience with covid, don't really know if having the vaccine with it made any difference...you're not supposed to take it with active virus but would coulda guessed.

So mostly few days of feeling really wiped out, sleepy, muscle aches. Mild fever/chills. My arm was sore as heck from the vaccine. Couple of days I didn't really do anything other than lay on the sofa and fall asleep to cartoons. Last few days though I've been a bit more active, done a couple of yoga sessions and done some housework. Basically taking paracetamol in all waking hours though to feel only light symptoms.

Took aspirin 150mg daily since i got confirmed, we've used it in some trials and its relatively safe although no real evidence base as of yet. Really don't want a blood clot/stroke...

Upped vitamin D to 10000iu per day (been taking lower all winter) and zinc to 45mg and added in vit c 1g too but otherwise no real change to my diet/supplements. Again none of this greatly evidence based but whatever. Appetite has been fine and no loss of taste/smell. Been drinking loads of Coffee as we got a bean to cup for christmas... Probably didn't help recovery

Had only mild cough and felt SOB on exertion but it seems better today. Will be interesting to see how my exercise tolerance is once we're out of isolation. Im day 7 now so still could get worse but think im pretty much through the worst of it. Really hoping for no 'long covid'. My sister has M.E/CFS post glandular fever and has really suffered with it (basically never went to school) and there is a genetic link.

Overall not a great experience even with mild symptoms. Mask up and be sensible people. Were almost there.

Yest just meditation 40m + 20m
+ cycle commute

Today
Walk in the morning 8k or so
Run in the afternoon 6.68km 5m/km pace - quickest since covid! Had a little bit of chest pain which was concerning snd stopped me pushing any further (post covid myocarditis scares me)

Pull up 3 x 10 (surprised as first time doing overhand in months)
Push up 2 x 30, 50 again surprised could hit 50!
Peterston step ups without the step 3 x 25

Going to do my 1hr meditation + 30m yoga now.

L groin niggle..? Sleepy left glute

In other life news - passed by first post graduate exam comfortably! (73% if they didn't delete any questions). Primary exam for emergency medicine so first on the road to consultancy. I don't actually want to do EM but it was a bit of money and a few months of my life to prepare so I'm relieved to have passed.

Yest just meditation 1hr

Today

Meditation 1hr 30 + 30m - interesting experience in first session, so i made the room basically pitch black before i started. At around the 1h mark i got real focussed on my breath and then a bright white light kinda took over my visual field, despite it being pitch black behind my eyelids. Wild.

Run 8.65kmm 4.57/km pace 42:53 - super cold miserable rain but legs felt great
 
Yoga 45m - super relaxing

Yest just meditation 1hr

Today
Meditation 1hr50m - went deep, strange things happen. Reach a certain point of peace and focus and then my heart all of a sudden out of nowhere starts beating super hard and fast like there's a big sympathetic surge, it's bizarre. Has happened a few times. Seem to be getting more control of it but it's intense to the point im actually worried about my health when it happens. It's experiences like this that really motivate me to keep going with this though as other than the racing heart it was serene.

Run 7.53km 5.08/km pace
Push up 50 Chin Up 15

Stretched calves didn't have time to yoga, too busy buying dogecoin
