Dr. Rebecca Robinson is a Consultant in Sport and Exercise Medicine and splits her time between professional sport, the NHS and clinical time at Center for Health and Human Performance in London, where one of her roles is to run the Long Covid clinic, helping patients get back to exercise more quickly. She’s also an elite mountain and road runner as well!
In this long form interview, we dive deeply into how athletes should approach their recovery from Covid, how to safely return to exercise, symptoms to look out for as you recover from Covid, and the importance of putting health first.

This show is brought to you by Precision Fuel & Hydration, who have a range of tools and products to help you personalise your fuelling and hydration strategy so that you can perform at your best.
Long time listeners of the show will know them as “Precision Hydration”, but they’ve changed their name to reflect the fact that they’ve been helping athletes nail both aspects of their performance for a long time now.
Everyone sweats differently and the amount of fuel we require varies depending on factors like the duration and intensity of our activity, so a one-size-fits-all approach to fuelling and hydration just doesn’t cut it. Head to precisionfuelandhydration.com and use their free online Sweat Test and Quick Carb Calculator to understand your fluid, electrolyte and carbohydrate needs during training and racing. Then book a free one-to-one video consultation with the team to refine your hydration and fuelling strategy for your next race.
