Yeah feels good. I'm lucky I didn't get it as bad as some but before Xmas I would struggle with 2 miles at a VERY gentle pace. No energy. Everything ached for days after. Constant brain fog, tiredness, muscle and joint aches... Deferred my place for VLM to next year so that's the target, just to get around, no time target, just to be able to cover the distance will be a massive milestone.

Parkrun earlier, thought I'd try a bit of post (hopefully, still waiting for a relapse) long COVID effort at a fast run to see where I am. Been back running regularly for a few weeks after what feels like forever of being very careful not to overdo it and feeling a bit fitter but I'm aware I'm a long way off where I was this time last year... Only two mins slower than my course PB and I didn't try to get near the front for the start so was working my way through the crowds and bottleneck for the first half mile or so. Quite reassuring!
Was passing people for pretty much the whole 5k and fairly even pacing too. Progress feels good man!
