In their words
- Condition: Long COVID
I got covid in February
In context ↗ - At worst: Moderate
my stamina decreased to the point where .1 miles of walking at a 30 min pace would knock the wind out of me and I’d have to sit down to catch my breath
In context ↗ - Now: Much better
I’ve definitely gained a lot of stamina back comparatively ... but I no longer feel that it’s super easy & I get wayyyy more exhausted.

Summary
Valley 26824, a woman in her mid 20s who used to love lifting and running, caught COVID in February 2022. Her stamina collapsed so that 0.1 miles of walking left her gasping, and her VO2 max fell about 30%. Five months on she could run a mile at a 9-minute pace or do stairs for 20 minutes, but she tired far more easily, had lost the endorphin rush from exercise, and felt weak and anxious.
