Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I tested positive yesterday njo. Can't say I'm feeling up to running. I took the dog for a walk and was a bit breathless going up a hill. I don't think it's a good idea to push too hard even if you don't have too many Covid symptoms, so delaying until August might be a good idea.

Sorry to hear that njo and B Rub, hope you both recover quickly.

Be careful not to exert yourself too soon after Covid recovery. Some people (not all) have reported quite long recovery times and returning too early to work or exercise has prolonged their symptoms and hindered recovery. Take care. G

That's bad luck for both of you, hope there's nothing more than a short term inconvenience and you're back out there soon enough. Shame if it's scuppered plans.

It's absolutely rife here (south west England), hoping the improved weather and Easter provides a natural break; feel for you both.

yeah, best wishes BR, NJO.

My own experience was that I was noticeably under the weather for about 10 days then started to feel OK day-2-day. However, going for an easy run got me at tempo HR after just a few mins and that lasted for a good few weeks after.

Rife here too. Rules relaxed, we had an offsite work group meeting: 8 down. I'm sure it's strain dependent but the folks who have it now seem to be a bit worse than those who got Omicron over Xmas. :-(

Thanks for the best wishes. I'm still fine on day 2 but no running is likely to take place for a week or two. Walking seems fine for now although we're sending the dog off to stay with my younger daughter and son in law.

I seem to be cycling through different symptoms, started with a headache, then a low level fever, then congestion and sore throat and last night shivering. No loss of taste or smell. Not sure if that is still a thing with Omicron.
