While most 'return-to-play' guidelines focus on controlling the further spread of COVID-19, when it comes to the question of when it's wise to resume training, the consensus among medical professionals is that a gradual approach is best.
Runners compete in the half marathon during Ottawa Race Weekend on May 27, 2018. In-person events return this year for the first time since 2019.
"Athletes … by and large when they get COVID don't get it as bad, but because they go out and run and do stuff like that, they certainly notice it because they test themselves," explained Dr. Jonathan Hooper, an anesthesiologist and intensive care physician at The Ottawa Hospital, and the Race Weekend's longtime medical director.
"Within three weeks he's probably right back now to where he was in his Boston preparation," said Marsh, who also coaches runners through both the store's running clinics and other clubs.On the other hand, Marsh also described one "super fit guy" in his 30s who's still struggling with shortness of breath and other symptoms months later.
It's that uncertainty over long-term outcomes that's perhaps most worrying for some runners, and has many wondering how to safely resume their training., when it comes to the question of when it's wise to resume training, the consensus among medical professionals is that a gradual approach is best.
