Right there with you. Had covid 6 weeks ago which was mostly ok but with some elevated HR for a couple weeks after but have had a tickley cough this week (have a kid in nursery so this is just life) which has made training a bit of a slog.
Couple of weeks ago also had weirdly achy leg tendons and knees, and awful shin splints but that seems to have passed - probably another weird viral thing.My approach is to just rest as needed and mainly focus on easy mileage/MAF. Not thinking of speedwork just yet. In fact I’ll probably be very controlled with any hard efforts until the end of October when the marathon is, with two interval sessions between now and then.
Basically, don’t be afraid to go slower than you’d like. In fact it’s better.

More mid mararthon training woes. Head is melted so seeing what the hive mind thinks! Got a cold with a phelgmy chest a couple of weeks ago, no covid or anything more serious. Took a few days off and then got back to it. Had be going ok bit slower, heart rate a little higher but presumed I was just still not 100%. Feeling fine the past couple of days but went I got for a run my heart rate jumps straight up. Around 10bpm higher then it should be. My warm up is like steady running heart rate wise. Resting hard rate is fine, walking around ok and did an hour of zwift yesterday really easy (1.5/kg) and my heart rate never left zone 1.
