Forums >General Running>I have mono, now what?
As the title indicates, I've had mono for the past couple months (diagnosed 2 weeks ago) and have stopped running since I found out; what steps should I take to get back?
an amazing likeness
(1) Get healthy. 100% healthy.
(2) Start aerobic base building via walk, jog, elliptical, etc.
(3) Don't expect to be where you are today when you first start back.
Acceptable at a dance, invaluable in a shipwreck.
I had mono pretty bad in high school (over 20 years ago). I got it right after Thanksgiving and it took me until at least February to feel 100%. Make sure to take everything really slow once you get back to running. I started training for baseball early January and I remember it being really tough to run and weight lift..
