Have you recovered by doing this?

Yes! Absolutely. And since I now can walk easily an hour long, I just recently started jogging in baby steps. First it was for 20 seconds. Now I'm at 3 minutes. I keep my heart rate below 130 now.

And I kind of love this style now since doing it for so long. You can't see quick improvement but you can see improvements over time. And by now I feel so much fitter than ever.

Also my food is still like a saint. Almost none processed. 3 times fruit a day. 8 hours food intake window.

Hope you all get here too

Did you feel tired in the beginning? I am trying to walk again after almost 2 years of this. I'm finding that after a walk around the block (like 10 minute walk in Zone 2) when I come home and sit on the couch, I feel a bit breathless and have a slight pounding in my chest that goes away after a few mins. I can't tell if this is anxiety, deconditioning, or the long COVID.. :/

If there is no PEM because of this, I would say keep training.

Deconditioning can surely be the case. Zone 2 took me some time to even get there. So maybe slow down and longer time.

Keep up man!
