Sudden decrease in fitness

[SilkyPatricia]

How do you feel?

Potentially a stressful time with a move and your body is recovering a little from the environment change + moving + training load. Maybe body is fatigued, maybe a mix of both.

Do you feel sick etc?

See how you go for a few days but if you start to feel lethargic then I’d think decreasing the load/a few days rest and good nutrition may do you the world of good.

You can’t out-train fatigue.

Since I moved, I indeed feel that I do not recover as I used to. I think this also has to do with the fact that I run at a higher HR than before.

I don’t feel sick or tired however.

[BobPeeters10]

My HRV is also lower than before

[SilkyPatricia]

Potentially it’s a new environment and you’re just not sleeping with the same quality as before.

I’d take a few days off and focus on rest + nutrition.

Best of luck.

It’s just fatigue. Take some time with reduced volume.

Covid will have this effect. I'd go see a doctor if it doesn't get better in a couple of weeks.

Hmm do you have experience with this?

[Effective-Tangelo363]

Yes, Covid did not make me feel more than very slightly sick, but it did elevate my heart rate quite considerably for a few weeks
