Fitness moms - how long does it take to regain cardio capacity? I was where I wanted to be pre-covid but have taken 2 months off. I'm wondering how long it will take to get back to the same place. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

She’s only been off for a couple months. It shouldn’t take a full six weeks as there should be some muscle memory there. I’d say more like a month, if she’s consistent. [ Reply | More

You're correct about regaining muscular strength quickly, but cardiovascularly- your VO2 max and lactate threshold plummet after a week of detraining and will take 5-10 weeks of consistent training to reach the same levels. This isn't to say OP won't be able to run/bike/swim the same amount but her fitness levels won't be the same for a while (which may make the exercise less comfortable). [ Reply | More
