COVID-19 — Coronavirus

i ring a bell

Presumably because you are considerate. At which point the considerate walkers move to the side to let you past. It really isn't rocket science.

i used to listen to music but I don t now . I listen to the birds and the quiet. It’s lovely

one bit of the run you go over a motorway bridge and the smell of petroleum and diesel is so distinct from the not very busy motorway .

the roads are quiet ( other than the motorway) so it is so noticeable the difference .

the good thing of covid is the air , the water the noise is so much more pleasant

Indeed. I’m on my 464th day in a row of running. Presume your on Strava ?

True. One was getting their own back. The other was just a stranger.

Hang on, I was talking about the footpath not your sex dungeon.

You say that but I've noticed a lot more, non lycras, doing it.

Mumblers. You can see the lips move but you can't quite make out what they're saying.

Sorry, wrong thread.

Anything by the Flaming Lips.

Stop being disrespectful to runners!

People just need to understand that runners are just like walkers but quicker, sniff!

Also a runner and I'm taking care to avoid the few people I see. I'm running late at night and giving anyone I see a wide berth. I don't expect anyone to get out of my way - I avoid them.

By and large most people I see are respecting social distancing and a fight almost broke out in the queue for the local co-op when someone got to close.

Is it safe?

Maybe im late to this point of the thread, but i trained a lot through the winter for the london marathon, which isnt going to take place.
I now cant/dont go out for a run as theres too many folk out running, ive taken to going out on my bike instead which i find safer for 1 hour, instead of having to distance between a lot of folk who clearly werent runners before this started, sorry for the rant folks amd as i put on my strava today wwywtwnc, where were you when there was no covid?
In a fair mind i do wonder will this mean goimng forward we are going to turn into a healthier nation? I hope so

Trying to keep socially distanced and have a fight at the same time would be quite an amusing thing to watch tbh.

What a pair of utter cunts.

Just shoot the pair of them!

The strange thing is I don’t think the Inspector gets the severity neither; “That anyone could think this sort of behaviour is appropriate or amusing even in normal times is beyond me, but at this time of crisis when many people have been faced with empty shelves in some shops is flabbergasting” he said.

No, Inspector Martin, it’s not about it being a time where we’ve had empty shelves, it’s about spreading disease you moron!

 

[itsnevereasy]

What is with the joggers in the road when there is an empty path next to them? Not drove anywhere for a week and today four people jogging in the road between home and Asda.

And the 2m distancing - it’s all well and good outside the supermarket and at the checkout but what about the bit in the middle when you actually shop? It’s fucking impossible, even when trying to keep 2m you stop to grab your corn flakes and some dick head is stopping right next to you.

 

[fulabeer]

Like people moaning about rush hour traffic not realising they ARE the rush hour traffic...

You had it covered with your first sentence.

Where’s Lark hill ?
Edit you could have just said Adswood

Agree but cheadle hulme blue lives there.

 

[i8rags]

Was in jest as I haven't got a white van

What colour is it

 

[Ste1969]

Can't even buy a box of cheerios without some twat in the way hogging the cereal aisle.;)

 

[i8rags]

It’s not bizarre at all. Very Strange reaction. Lots of other posters have said the same. I’ve seen lots of people/ families going on walks. Ive felt guilty at times walking down seven arches past lots of people. I’ve also seen lots of people walking past my house. Why on earth would I come on here and make that up?

Asda/Waitrose down the road. There’s no 1 in 1 out rule and you can walk past most people in the aisle. I’m obviously not talking about planes or trains .........

sidenote I live in Cheadle Hulme. Address and estate is in Cheadle hulme. I live on the border. Apologies if I’m not from the posh side like you

anyway leave it at that. It’s not what this thread is about

Apologies mate, knew you would bite ref the address, couldn’t resist.

Under normal circumstance I will do quite a bit of running. At present I can't leave the house at all. But I have bought a skipping rope and hopefully next week I plan to get in my back yard every morning and do some skipping. Now there is just enough room to do it.

I understand what people are saying about getting out the house, plus physical and mental health. But and this is a big but, if you get this virus and die, your physical and mental health will not matter anymore. You might be the most considerate runner/cyclist/walker in the world, the problem is that you have no control over the actions of other people. You could end up with this virus through no fault of your own, it could be due the idiot behaviour of someone else.
Just stay at home. As others have mentioned, there are plenty of exercises you can do at home, you just have to be creative. Get one of them bike things with the online classes for the 2 week free trial and then send it back if you don't like it, buy a skipping rope or walk up and down your stairs for an hour a day.
