"Lockdown has been a strange experience for runners, whether you are unmotivated, unable to get out of the house, or feeling lonely, remember we are all in this together.
The Running Channel are here to give you that boost of motivation and hope that we have all craving, with an ULTIMATE running motivation video!
Having that end goal in sight is what will push us to keep going! Whether you’re missing parkrun, your running buddies or being outdoors, this will pass and we will all be together again. Until then, we run on!"
Thanks Roseabi. I’m certainly missing Parkrun and my Parkrun friends😕 but keeping in touch with running friends, here and on Facebook and Strava all help!🙂
I was fairly used to running on my own so I haven’t found it too hard to adapt. I wouldn’t want to run without music or podcasts though!😊
Stay safe and well🌈everyone, and run when you can!🏃♀️🏃♂️👍
I am mostly (and happily) a lonely goat - but I do miss the anticipation and buzz of events, be they the smaller local ones or the great big mass participation ones! 👍😀
But yes, we run on...and this video (another winner from The Running Channel) made me cry!! Brilliant! 😀👍
I am not mega familiar with it, but what I have seen I have liked! This one was posted by my local parkrun on Facebook yesterday, and I just love the footage of the trail runs - that's what I miss at the moment 😊😊😊
As you know, I can’t run at all at the moment but it’s all down to injury, not the current situation. I am missing it like mad, especially parkrun, but if anything it’s a bit easier knowing that I can’t physically do it. The Vitality 1000 at the end of May would be impossible but I’m sorry I won’t catch up with VRB s as planned even to cheer them on. Hopefully I can run at a rearranged race. My physio exercises are a daily routine now. I can see some light at the end of the tunnel.
That’s fab! Some great run routes there. I was watching something on TV last night and a guy was running beside a loch and it looked just stunning. Of course, I now really want to run a similar route 🏃♀️🙂
Heard today chippenham half in sept is cancelled.... I was really setting my sights on that... I'm finding it hard to keep up longer runs with no longer term running events.
Just wondering if the London Marathon in October will again be cancelled as there is some talk about large social, musical and sporting events not taking place until next year.
Not quite sure what you mean by regular running, but I would suggest that you mix things up with some intervals runs, shorter runs, sometimes run slightly further than you've been used to, add some strength work, indoor cardio, yoga, anything that's available at the moment that you might enjoy. Get yourself fitter and stronger so that when the time comes you can begin your HM training with a solid base xxx
Thanks Roseabi. I am trying to build in strength workouts which I dont usually do. I think youre absolutely right ..mixing it up and getting into good habits which will stand me in good stead later. I am determined to try yoga too!!
I feel guilty as I am the same as usual as I don't do events and i mostly run alone. But I am loving exploring some new trails in the local woods as my husband has joined me who is a superb navigator, as I would get lost on my own!
I don't really miss events either, and I always run alone - but this video made me all wistful about running on trails, which I can't do at the moment 😊😊😊
This crazy situation has motivated me more than ever. As a lone 'non-event' runner I'm having some remarkable times running 5 times weekly training for ultra. This months I'm likely to clock in over 260km which normally l simply wouldn't have the time for. But, if l could swap it for normal times, safety and health for all......
I'm the same! Although I don't like to go too far from home at the moment, and it gets too crowded to run here after about 9 am, I'm getting some hardcore workouts done and I'm starting to feel super fit and strong 😊😊😊

Why do we run?
A little change to how the forum is run, we hope you understand.
