The past couple of weeks have been physically and mentally tough. Covid really does suck. I mean you spend a few days poorly, but then it doesn’t stop there. It saps any energy you may have had out of you. This is what I’ve found mostly post Covid. I’ve not been able to train like I had.
The worse one was Monday night, I went to the gym for a swim as normal. But when I got there I felt wiped out and sat down in the cafe. I stayed in the seat for over 2 hours and had a panic attack about swimming. In the end after I’d calmed I went home. I felt a complete failure.
So I now have to deal with mental health issues and Covid recovery. Great. Tues I had a boost though. I was planning to do a walk/run. I started out with 2 mins running, but I felt good so went to 4; still feeling good…..then 6,8,10,15,20….eventually I stopped after 40 minutes. Possibly the slowest run in history, but a non-stop run non the less.
This has filled me with confidence for the 2nd April when I am taking part in a duathlon.
