Returning To Running After Covid Part 3 - The Run!

It's time for Part 3 in my series documenting my return to running after Covid and today I actually try and run!

After a week back at work and feeling a bit better, I felt the time was right to try a run. In today's video I take you through my first run back after Covid and I show you how I structured my return.
Remember, rushing back to running will likely cause further set backs and a longer overall time to fully return to running.

As a Chartered Physiotherapist I have treated many who have suffered with the effects of Covid including minor symptoms to those in intensive care so I wanted to use my knowledge and those of my colleagues to help me return safely and properly.
The risk of developing long covid which could greatly effect my ability to run for a prolonged time is very much on my mind so I intend on doing everything I can to return to running safely.
This virus can affect people very differently. For me I tested positive after developing a persistent cough, achey body and general fatigue.
This continued and when my cough started to go I was still left with a feeling of being out of breath when getting dressed, going up the stairs and other very low level activities of daily living.
To return to running I know I need to be sensible and take it slowly.
