Here's a bit of inspiration for anyone who can't get away from their house at the moment but want to keep running! This woman ran a marathon in her drive! edinburghnews.scotsman.com/...

Maybe a bit extreme for us lot on c25k and still doesn't help if you live somewhere without outside space - but inspiring nonetheless?

Brilliant 😊 People will find a way through. There was something similar on the news where the guy had run his marathon up and down his street.

Some chap did a marathon on his 7m (I think it was that small) balcony.

A guy from Phoenix Running live streamed a marathon of laps of his back garden a couple of Saturday's ago, he got so many people viewing he continued after the 26 miles to run for a solid 6 hours and make it an ultra.

I did parkrun last Saturday, 49 laps of my garden, I live on a hill, my run ascent this month is going to be spectacular.

I must go now so I can run outside (hubby is renovating the patio, it's needed it for a few years) before lots of people get out for their exercise.

Have a good day everyone.
