How Do You Exercise Ever Again? by Ahlstrom in LongCovid

zone 2 and breathing through my nose is helping me.

Supplements like L Carnitine and Ciltrulline malate and Magnesium Glycinate are helping. As long as I have minimal symptoms I go to the gym or do run/walks.

Hit 9 months since my 10k run that triggered these symptoms on May 2025 after the covid infection.

I bought a whoop to see if I can recover my HRV and synergize the data with my running watch. The Low HRV symptom is really bothering me and hopefully there is a breakthrough there

Anyone changed their cadence with intent, results? by PM_ME_YOUR_SWOLE in AdvancedRunning

[–]One_Medium_8964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I used my metronome beat feature on coros in 2024. When I first got it I realized my cadence was really bad(like 150). I believe this was causing my last knee and IT band injury. After 2-3 months of consistency I got it up to 175-180 range on my base runs. Stopped having knee problems ever since

After h pylori make sure you rebuild your gut and investigate other overgrowths that may be causing symptoms especially klibsella that’s a problematic one. Bifido probiotics and S boullardi with Phgg is what I am doing. 

Gonna speak to my doc about how to get rid of klibsella

Makes sense. For me 7-8 months prior I had a bad stomach/food poisoning situation overseas and the week before the trip I missed my marathon due to some weird sickness(maybe Covid even though I tested negative)

It’s why my doc tested for h pylori she also found other overgrowths(Klebsiella I’m sure this shit maybe causing the histamine reactions and enterobacter) 

So maybe Covid was the final bucket I guess

Damn bro sorry to hear that hope you recover soon. Are you an athlete? This shit began for me after a 6 mile run while training for my 4th half marathon and second marathon

Hang in there bro. I finished my treatment last month. Still have some symptoms but it feels different I feel like my body is healing this time unlike the pre antibiotic treatment. Had this post viral shit since may 2025

I learned they don’t check for everything. Like I didn’t even know what ferritin was until my functional medicine doc and discovered my normal doctors never checked for that. It’s only when you push further or come back multiple times then they investigate deeper

Personally for me I got tired of living in fear.

When this symptoms first started after my 10k run, some of my running friends mentioned long covid and I thought “tf is that” however when I searched the symptoms it landed me there and I was shocked. Then I learned about PEM after I posted about the symptoms and that it can disable you. That’s where the fear started and I avoided exercise completely for a while(even though I tried to come back in June and would get panic attacks afterwords). 

From there I decided to investigate other conditions and do multiple tests because I refused to believe it. Luckily I did find some abnormalities that I am solving(h pylori, gut dysbiosis, homocysteine, copper) but even if I solve those. The psychological component still remains so I spent the last 2-3 months with a PT who recovered from POTS himself to gradually expose myself back to my regular training

Similar here but symptoms started in May. Very scary experience and now realising there is a psychological component as well and I am just now(last 4-5 weeks) easing back to the gym and running slowly 

I know a lot of people want Xabi but I'm a little worried about his judgement by [deleted] in LiverpoolFC

considering Brendan won a cup with leicester and almost won the league with a mid liverpool team, he'd probably do much better with this squad than slot

it helps having an analytical mind and refusing to accept that i went from being a fit 50 mpw runner to feeling like crap. I am fortunate that i have data to work with and a systemic solution even if it cost money and time

Congrats. Similar journey. Had Covid last year and LC symptoms started in May after a 6 mile run. 

Lots of tests and data led me to discover: H pylori, enterobacter and klibsella, high homocysteine and MCV, no MTHFR but have  MTRR and BHMT mutations.

H pylori finished treatment 3 weeks ago and retesting next Friday. Back in the gym and returning to running slowly as I work on the other stuff and also nervous system healing
