Quick question which might seem odd. I’m in tier 4. Should I wear a mask when running? Notice more people wearing them outside. Any thoughts? Not sure its the easiest thing to do but want to do my bit to help restrict the spread. I didn’t wear a mask in the first national lockdown. Thanks!!!

I would say no you don’t need to. As long as we keep a 2 metre distance from others I don’t think you need a mask on when exercising.

Thanks. That’s what I’ve been doing. It would be odd to wear one!

The ruling is if you are going to be less than 2 metres from someone else for more that 15 minutes you need to wear a mask 😀 I’ve run with my buff over my mouth and nose when it’s been cold and it’s ok once you get used to it, so I think it’s probably personal choice, outside is safer than inside and moving is safer than being in the same place
