The Quarter No. 70 - Returning to Running Post-COVID

COVID cases are only increasing in the US, so I figured this may be timely for some. I have only had one athlete come down with COVID and luckily it was a mild case. They followed their doctor’s recommendations and then we followed the proposed recommendations from this article in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. Happily, they are now back training and ready to ramp up!

The major points to remember are to always follow your doctor’s recommendations and to not rush things. Taking a few extra days to start a build up is not a big deal; ending up in hospital because you overdid it is. If your doctor is not familiar with runners, you can show them the linked article and they should be able to use it to guide you safely back into training.

Stay safe and train smart!

About Us

A coach just for you

Stride Strong Coaching provides personal running coaching. Athletes receive individually tailored running programs, designed to help them achieve their running and life goals.

We are here to train all age groups and abilities: high school to masters, recreational to elite.

Our philosophy is to account for your life and training stresses, resulting in a program that works for you.

Don't just follow a program, get a program which follows you

A generic running program ignores life stresses beyond running. At Stride Strong Coaching we are your personal running coach, allowing us to tailor-make a training program for you.

Training programs are written weekly and account for your life, whether you're traveling, working, or taking the kids to soccer. Our programs will work with you, for you - not the other way around.

Achieve your goals

Everyone has goals, whether they are to lose weight, exercise more, improve your cardio, run a personal best, refine your running form, or qualify for the Boston Marathon. Stride Strong Coaching provides expert in person and online running coaching for all ages and abilities, from 800 m to the Marathon. Our programs are written for you by a personal running coach so you can realize your goals.
