Anyone else running in the dark and no longer uploading to Strava, to prevent being arrested like this runner in Spain?

You're very fortunate - count your blessings:

Can't agree with you more - except the last sentence :p

She got what was coming, which is a physical arrest for failure to comply after multiple opportunities. I hope she gets a heavy fine for wasting police time.

Spain is showing positive signs of reaching the peak of the curve after a semi-strict lock-down. If we all behaved as selfishly as this idiot, the country would be in Caos. We didn't all make the sacrifice (here in Spain) to save many lives, including those of young doctors and health practitioners for idiots like these to act in the most selfish manner and think they are above everyone else. The hospitals were already overwhelmed despite the lockdown.

I don't stand for police brutality (this was not that btw) and fight for civil liberty as much as the next person but if we didn't have order in these times it would be a disaster.

This runner is the exact type person that would be the first in the queue at the hospital when they aren't even critical - me, me, me.

Ironically, you're in more danger from crime when running in Chicago. Virus is a pretty low risk by comparison.

Nice thing is in Ohio they said you can go to the state parks during lockdown. The number of people has skyrocketed there though, funny how people will do anything to get out when you're told to stay home.

Yes, nearly a week into Lockdown here in Morocco. No mention of physical activity on the form permit to go outside, so im venturing out super ealry in mornings, luckily theres a nearby abandoned park, so its open all the time lol.. im usually back home by 6:45. I also started putting my runs as private on Strava.. Got lots of annoying comments saying i should train home.

Because you should.

Well i dont see anybody during that time, even traffic is pretty rare. i dont see how thats gonna hurt anyone. Also im just doing easy runs mostly, i add in some strides and a few hill reps. so not trying anything stupid... Basically just maintenance training.

Martial law coming to a town near you

Time to go off grid

and next is the round ups to FEMA camps and mass extermination....sh*t sucks

I'm from the Netherlands, we don't have a lockdown (yet), will probably happen tho since there's a lot of idiots going to the beach and the forests in large groups. This is why I got a treadmill.

Seems the police were very professional. Letsrunners don't seem to get what a total lockdown entails. When the govt says no exercise outside, there is no exercise. If New York went to that, they wouldn't allow people out to run and it wouldn't matter if you're a sub elite athlete or some out of shape guy who just wanted fresh air.

The Chicago mayor says that going outside should be for brief periods of time not long enough to do 5ks. Doesn’t every Let’s Run poster run a 5k in under 20min. So how long is a non runner to go outside to get fresh air? I bet I could run a 5k faster than a smoker could smoke a cigarette. I ran my 8miles through the close county park, no issues or throw downs.

Is there any actual evidence to suggest that running outside by yourself creates a risk of spreading COVID-19? I don't really see how this restriction makes anyone safer. I'm farther from other people when I'm out for my daily run than I am when I'm at home.

I'd be interested in hearing the cops explain the scientific evidence supporting their policies and decisions.

I put my runs on Map My Run but only have 3 friends who rarely use it. No comments either. I used to post them to FB as well but haven't done that to be safe.

She's sorta attractive. The '90s power suit looks good on her, actually. That's not a common look on women anymore. I agree with her policies though tougher enforcement though.

:)

Spain is not showing any sign of positivity. It's a shithole.

I have seen footage of people laying on the ground of hospitals, because they had not enough beds or rooms.

I have read that old people were abandonned in their nursery home by the employees and were dying alone.

Positivity? Awful country, even third world countries wouldn't do it.

Running alone carry zero risks of spreading the disease. Your country deserve what it is getting for enforcing such totalitarian measures and for letting old people dying alone. These cops should go out and take care of the elderly.

Spain is a coward country and you are on course for topping Italy. 700 deaths per day and you call that a positive sign ?

I laugh at your stupidity because you think that harassing joggers will do any good for your shithole country? Clueless spaniard.

Ridiculous. What that woman was doing in no way increased the risk of transmission of any virus - she was by herself.

Personally, I avoid running any parks (because there's just too many people out). The best place to run here in California (Santa Clara County) is the streets. They're almost completely devoid of traffic and you can run right down the middle of one of the lanes of traffic with only an occasional diversion to the curb when a car approaches. Walkers and other runners are on the sidewalk, well away from me. If I see a biker approaching on the road I'll move to the sidewalk. Works great I never get within 15 feet of other people.

Freedumb / Baba Yaga B omg you are so dumb. Why do you think the streets are empty and it's an ideal place to run at the moment? Who say's that she's has a superior privilege to do the activity that she wants, at the time she wants, where she wants.

Now, I agree that there could be a perfectly safe system put into place that prioritises important things like exercise but it's exactly because of idiots like you ( and believe it or not - there are even bigger idiots out there than you two!) that this doesn't work.
