LibGDX Box2D Prevent object from slowing down after jumping

I'm coding a 2d platformer in libGDX with Box2D, and I just realized that if your object jumps while running and then lands on a surface to continue running, he slows down by like 120% for about a second. That's really annoying, and I can't really come up with a solution. I've tried making the speed higher for a second after the player hits the ground after jumping, but that doesn't really seem to do the trick. This is what I'm using to move the player:
//jumping
if(Gdx.input.isKeyJustPressed(Keys.SPACE) && player.b2body.getLinearVelocity().y == 0)
player.b2body.applyLinearImpulse(new Vector2(0, 4.2f), player.b2body.getWorldCenter(), true);
//moving right
if(Gdx.input.isKeyPressed(Keys.D) && player.b2body.getLinearVelocity().x <= 2)
player.b2body.applyLinearImpulse(new Vector2(0.17f, 0), player.b2body.getWorldCenter(), true);
//moving left
if(Gdx.input.isKeyPressed(Keys.A) && player.b2body.getLinearVelocity().x >= -2)
player.b2body.applyLinearImpulse(new Vector2(-0.17f, 0), player.b2body.getWorldCenter(), true);
Here is a video showing what's happening.
I hope I've provided the correct information, please tell me if I haven't.
EDIT: I've also tried setting the position in the x-axis with
player.b2body.setLinearVelocity(1f, 0);
but that seems to make the player sort of glide-fly to the right.

I suspect it happens because the body collides with the ground and the force is therefore slowed down. What you could try is to apply a force when jumping, like you do. But when moving to the left and right, instead set its position

Tried this, but that seems to give another weird result. I've edited my original post, so you can see it there. Thanks!

You have to reset the velocity when the user isn't pressing the button

@Squiddie Found out the problem with this methode is that I need to set both velocity X and Y, which means the Y has to be affected. I'm sure there is a way to work around that, but I can't really figure out how..

Can't you just set y velocity to 0?
