Agree with you. I’m a healthy 63 year old who is not anti-vaccine. I ride a bicycle 100-150 miles per week and use power meters and a heart rate monitor and record all the data.

As such I know what is normal for me with respect to average heart rate vs. watts/KG body weight and quite knowledgeable on how I normally feel after a (for example) 30 mile ride with 3 or 4 climbs totaling 2500 feet on ascent. I can say without fear of being laughed at by those who know that I’m a decent hobby class athlete.

Since receiving the vaccine four months ago I have basically lost my MoJo. Through much hard work I can now ride at almost pre-vaccine levels but my leg muscles feel like mush and my average heart rate is elevated approx 10 beats per minute.

At 72 I am not the athlete I was 12 years ago when I was running half-marathons but I get what you are saying. I only walk now, though I do walk up hills sometimes for my workouts. My resting heartbeat is 62, 9 above what it was 12 years ago when I ran 35-40 miles a week, more when training for a race.
