A few friends, with varying times to get back to it.
One has had Covid 3 times now. First couple of times barely noticed it, most recent one has taken him a couple of months to get back to being able to train properly. He's mid 40's, good health generally (long distance triathlete)
Then a couple of friends in early/mid 20's, both fairly serious runners (women running sub 16 5k). Generally felt fine but training just felt very laboured. They've reduced the volume and intensity of sessions over the last month but seems they're back up to speed as of last night's track session.
But both of those are just anecdotes. I think don't assume you'll be knocked out or you'll brush it off. Just take it easy and don't try and force the pace as you're getting back into it.
