Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

Well then you still must be creative. If you think living with your partner and kids for a couple of months is "prison with a cell mate" then your relationship sounds pretty crap.
I'm creative with how long it takes me to get to the corner shop, which is literally about a two minute walk away. I've nailed it to twenty minutes at the moment.
 
It's really pretty irrelevant how far someone goes out walking, running, or cycling, as long as they stay away from others.

I go quite far from home on my run if I'm feeling in the mood but I'm by myself so I don't see the problem.

Suppose the issue - as was pointed out to me in lockdown 1.0 - is people getting hurt or even just something like a bad puncture which isn't fixable on the go, happening far from home, and then that requiring somebody else to travel to get you or for you to have to call a cab or, god forbid, an ambulance etc.

But really that could happen outside your front door. There's the same amount of risk.
 
Yeah I mean I clock up some serious miles.

Also there's no actual rule on staying anywhere within your local area to a specific distance. You could walk seven miles away.

The guidance is to stop people driving to other locations and then doing their exercise. 7 miles on a bike can be done in 20-25 mins, if you're on the flat stuff.

Also, you can easily do a 50km ride by staying within a 10km radius of your own at all times pretty much too.

March lockdown I was training for a marathon - 50 miles plus every week and a 4hr long run at the weekend.

Just started training for an ultra marathon in the Summer - 30 40 miles plus every week and 2hrs plus long run and increasing incrementally at the weekend.

Who’s gonna tell me to stop ?

My mate in the Lakes is going out for four hours plus on his bike every day ( weather permitting) Sometimes ending up 40/50 miles up in the hills from where he lives.

Who’s gonna tell him to stop ?

aye it's nonsense, mate

you're also a massive weirdo putting yourself through that pain x

I am really looking forward to the spring and being able to get out on my bike fully again. In work today (my emails aren't working - hence on here right now :D) and gutted, as it's lovely here (albeit cold). Would have been able to get out for an hour or so in the sun. Next week or so is meant to be crap weather, but keeping up with my running.

Definitely lost fitness in the last few months so just looking forward to getting back onto it fully. Missing the gym and swimming, but it's been 10 months now.

Winter sets you up for the Spring, as it’s mainly base fitness just to keep you going until the weather warms up again.
 
Of course it's testing but we've been able to go out and eat at restaurants (with or without kids) for months now. The next couple of months will be more challenging so I was just offering advice to try be more creative with indoor "date nights".

Not sure why you're all jumping on me for offering some positive advice but this is the COVID knives out thread after all.

I’m not jumping on you.

Just think it would do you well to maybe show a bit more empathy towards people in this thread.
