So I had the dreaded COVID in late December/early January and ever since, I've found that my cardiovascular endurance has become practically non-existent. I've had myself checked out and had an ECG done, and they all came back just fine; they also tested my blood for any signs of swelling in the heart or lung muscles, and that came back negative as well. So, now I know that I don't have myocarditis, but I'm not exactly sure what's going on. Granted, I am coming off of the off-season and into more regular training, and I didn't train a significant amount over the winter time, but then I never do.
Does anyone have any advice for how to begin building back my fitness after COVID, especially given the challenge that I'm at my worst ever cardiovascular fitness? I figure I'll need to start pretty slow and build from there, but I don't have the foggiest of what that looks like, since I've always been in decent shape to begin pre-season training.
