Very similar situation with myself recently, had Covid in late May. Was down for a few days with the fever/cough. Took about a week off during all of it and the first run back wasn't pleasant but I powered through. Took about week to feel normal running and maybe three weeks to get to where I was pre-covid.

I started noticing something was up when I had a much harder time with my usual 5k run. The day before I had done an 8k and sailed through it feeling great. Next day I had trouble getting up hills. Day after that I tested positive. For about four days I experienced symptoms from cough to nausea to just general fatigue. I didn't try running or even much of anything for about 10 days. After that I did a light 1 mile run and it absolutely obliterated me. I took a few more days off and then tried another slow run and made it to 5k and after that I just took it easy, slow pace, nothing to hard, and after about 3 weeks was back to where I was. I feel pretty lucky if I'm being honest.
