A week or two wouldn't generally be considered Long Covid I don't think. That would just be extended acute symptoms.
As one anecdotal data point: I'm 29, and was a previously fit (would regularly play sport, go for long hikes / bikes rides, etc), and I haven't been able to recover that fitness nearly 3 years later. I was not expecting this (I had covid early on in April 2020 before there was much talk of long covid), but I found that my endurance was greatly reduced post infection (I essentially get the same fatigue that anyone would get once they've completely exhausted themselves through strenuous exercise, just much, much quicker and with exercise that shouldn't be exhausting me). And when I have tried to push myself to regain fitness made those symptoms worse not better (after pushing myself, I could barely get out of bed for a couple of days - I've tried this 2 or 3 times).
I'm lucky in that I can still do every day tasks (work, shopping, etc) just fine. Some people with more extreme symptoms can't even manage that.
