I don't know if anyone has seen the article in today's Guardian, but it is being reported that since the lockdown 7 million people have turned to running and jogging. And this is a cold time of year to start too. Just think how many will continue as we approach Spring.

EXCELLENT NEWS!

I suspect that a rush to join this forum in the Spring may not happen. We had an unprecedented intake during lockdown 1 but then a much lower intake in January this year, although the weather has not been very kind, so may be partly to blame.
