We can still run🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[Buddy34]

Well according to Boris Johnson we can still exercise daily. Which is good news for us. Now all people need to do is avoid busy areas and stay 2 meters away from others. Stay safe and happy running 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

[Vintage61 Graduate10]

Keep safe my lovelies 😊

[Smelliepoo Graduate10]

Phew! But it does mean the dogs loose out every other day when I want to run!!

I hope you are safe and able to be looked after. X

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Smelliepoo]

I'm fine Smelliepoo, I'm trying to do everything we are told as I'm the one that does the shopping as my husband can't go anywhere near the shops as he has an underlying health condition as has my mum so I'm going to the shops for her also. I'm not visiting my mum and dad or any other family members either .

So fingers crossed I can continue doing this . Hope you're okay also🤗

[Smelliepoo Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34]

Yup, all good here. Working from home and trying to keep busy, but it is all a bit stressful, especially considering the announcement yesterday. Its all a bit scary, but keeping on running is only going to help me, so that is what I will do!

Stay well. X

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10]

Yes Buddy, what a relief. I’ll be going out early in the mornings, and the place where I go is easy to avoid people anyway. I hope you can stay safe and enjoy your running too. Take lots of care. 😘

[Womangolfer Graduate10]

Good news on the running at least! Stay safe everyone.

[Hidden]

It was coming buddy probably due to the likes of the prats climbing Snowdon in one big queue 🤯.

Boris has bared his teeth and yep he needed to but phew..... We can run

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

I really can't understand the mentality of some people. It really angers me🤬🤬

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34]

Apparently there was a rave too. Absolute idiots. 😡

[Sandraj39 Graduate10]

Run safe and give a wide berth...x

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10]

Phew!

I’ll be out early tomorrow - free running the dogs - as long as I don’t fall asleep on the sofa again tonight and screw up the rest of the night!

I’m so lucky that I can access the countryside without having to even touch a gate.

[lexi6 Graduate10]

Great news for you all 👍

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to lexi6]

I hope it's the same in New Zealand regarding at least getting out for exercise, we here in the UK thought that they might put a lockdown on everyone as it is in some other European countries, at least we can get out and walk, run or bike ride at least once a day. I'll be doing another 5K run on Wednesday for the Vitality Running World Cup, I see that Team GB has got to the semi-finals.

[Couchpotato2 in reply to AlMorr]

My parents are in lock down in France and 1 person can go out to get food when essential and you can go out for daily exercise (social distancing of course); you need a printed form though. It’s effectively the same except that b has not used that term

[lexi6 Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

We’re so lucky Alan, no limit on how many times we can exercise in a day. I’m due for another run tomorrow as well will maybe do a 5 km too and save a longer run for the weekend (the semis) how exciting go team HU 👍🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

[Hidden]

Stay safe everyone and enjoy your precious time outside.

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

Thank you Buddy34 c25k may be the saviour for all of us, imagine if we were still on the couch. Stay safe everyone, adhere to the new restrictions or it could get a whole lot worse. Happy running 🤗

[misswobble Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

Very true! 💪👍🏃‍♀️😃

[Jell6 Graduate10]

I'll second that!

[ktsok]

Well, it’s good motivation to make the run a LONG one!

[misswobble Graduate10 in reply to ktsok]

It is! 🙂

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10]

That's great news Buddy34, we at least can get out a walk, run or bike ride at least once a day, but I suppose the situation could change by next week.

[misswobble Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Let’s hope not 🤞

[jrunner Graduate10]

I decided against my running obsession 😣 i was training myself for first ever marathon, last Saturday did 2 hour of easy running, thought I will progress further this week, but since this morning I starting getting negative feelings about whole situation. I thought I am putting my family (wife n son) at risk due to my running. So decided I will not go out for run instead will try yoga, sit-ups, pushups at Home.

[misswobble Graduate10 in reply to jrunner]

Marathon training can become all-consuming. Enjoy time spent with your family 😃👍. Best wishes to you all 🙂

[AliHC Graduate10]

With all this extra running I'm going to need some new shoes! 🏃🏼‍♀️👟😂

Do running shops come under essential shops that can stay open? 🤣

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to AliHC]

I will ask Boris 🤣

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34]

Update,my nearest running store Run4it has closed down temporarily from today

[AliHC Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34]

😭 Sad times x

[misswobble Graduate10 in reply to AliHC]

Sportsdirect say they are to remain open 🤷‍♀️ I just read it online. BBC or a Telegraph news

[Mumpark Graduate10 in reply to misswobble]

I heard that crazy no consideration for their staff and families.

I know someone that works for Nuffield gyms they were closed but still wanted their staff in up until yesterday hope they have come to their senses

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Mumpark]

Just seen they are going to shut down their stores after people shaming them on tv

[Coddfish Graduate10]

Very grateful we can still run where we want for now, subject to no inessential travel. France who are ahead of us in lock down are only allowing up to an hour within 1k of your house, presumably laps round a block, with paperwork explaining why you are out.

[Couchpotato2 in reply to Coddfish]

That’s it. My parents have started running behind their house!

[AliHC Graduate10 in reply to Coddfish]

Wow! That's strict! 😪

[Annieapple Administrator]

What a wonderful blessing to still be able to run!!

Thinking of you Buddy as you do the shopping etc for your parents & take on more to protect your Hubby. So pleased you can get out and have that downtime! Hugs 🤗

[misswobble Graduate10 in reply to Annieapple]

It is. Phew 😌

[Sparkey5000 60minGraduate]

Currently juggling kids doing school work at home while I try and work.....I need that run....it saves lives!!! Now the other half who is self employed can’t work.....three of them at home.....might be a good time to push myself to run for longer 🤣

[misswobble Graduate10 in reply to Sparkey5000]

Yes, absolutely. Don’t push things though. Nice and easy does it. 😃

[pete1212 Graduate10]

Glad that they haven’t stopped us running Buddy34 people are stupid even had a ice cream van going around the streets yesterday 😡

Happy running everyone

[misswobble Graduate10]

Yep. I saw our local one out and about

[Amblerman Graduate10]

First 'lockdown' run today. Gentle 5k taking in the peace and the emerging Spring. Lots of butterflies and songbirds out. I just hope we can continue to exercise responsibly in the coming days and weeks. Very few people about. I did have an enjoyable game of spot the new runner NOT following C25K i.e. running flat out and looking like they were going to explode at any minute before stopping when they had passed me. Get the app peeps, get the app.

[Debston Graduate10 in reply to Amblerman]

😂 We should have that printed on our running tops!
