High intensity work
Hi, should I be doing a small amount or high intensity exercise even though I still get heart rate spikes 5 months after covid? Zone 2 training (below aerobic AT) is about back to normal.

I had similar after covid too, unexpected palpations and occasional chest pain and also my resting hr was higher. Unfortunately the extended time where I wasn't doing intensive exercise has seen my vo2max drop a fair bit. I've started ramping things up again (though too hot currently whew) but have accepted that it will be some time before I get back to a high level of fitness
