This might not be relevant to you, but a lot of runners/cyclists exercise at 'tempo' - an intensity higher than necessary which mostly generates more fatigue without much benefit.

So, if you need to drop the pace/intensity of your running to recover better, it's probably still worthwhile. More info here: https://www.trainingpeaks.com/blog/zone-2-training-for-endur...

Thanks for the input, intersting article! This might actually be a worthwhile first step in recovery as i run at quite a fast pace naturally and after covid i often hit a hr of 180bpm as a 30 something year old - maybe i should only walk jog for now.

As far as I am aware, the only way you can exercise with several issues (CFS, POTS) is to exercise at a level below what triggers relapses, and to very gradually increase the amount one does over a period of years.
