No more long runs for me until at least December

[Cmoi]

France goes back into lockdown at midnight tonight until 1st December minimum

As outdoor exercise is limited to a maximum of one hour a day within 1km radius of home, none of my usual running routes works, even for 5k. So not entirely sure what I'm going to do, other than try to get out there while staying legal.

The irony is that I very rarely meet people while I'm out running, especially on my longer runs along tiny roads and forest tracks.

Sympathy to all those faced with a similar situation.

So sorry to hear this. Hopefully 4 weeks will get things to a better place.

I recently watched a video on youtube of someone Running on a small trampoline, low impact, limited space perhaps this can help you Cmoi?

Sorry Cmoi .

After just coming out of a very long lockdown here in Melbourne. You have my full sympathy.

That is frustrating. I suppose at least you can run very local to you and re-run the same route. All very difficult.

So sorry to hear this, I find getting out in the fresh air so important. Do hope you can get out for a short amount of running 👍

Ohh no! You must feel so frustrated. A week or so will be a good rest for your body, but beyond that it's hard to find the silver lining. Maybe time for some core work or some calming yoga? I hope December brings much better news. Take care.

Thank you to everybody for being so understanding.

I only started running when France's first lockdown ended, and back then would never have imagined being in the current situation. Apart from the second wave of Covid and hence the new lockdown, the idea of me posting to a Marathon Running and Race Support forum to express sadness and frustration about not being able to run for more than an hour would've made my head explode!

There is, however, good news - I got out this evening. Will post separately about that so I can share a pic too
