Or from home I'll run with my dog.
I'm anti-social and avoid people in general, so there's that.
More likely to encounter a rattlesnake on the run if you run a more remote route. Especially with it warming up.
Yep, I do. Not something I really worry about, but thanks!
Interesting times for sure. Saw that UK Athletics has been training and coaching during this time. Most junior sports in Australia have stopped training but as a private coach I still have had almost 50 different athletes show up to the two running sessions that I held this week.
I will keep training athletes in the bush and in parklands and away from the track for the time being.
The landscape has changed and I do feel sorry for those who rely on coaching to earn a living. Glad it is just a side hobby for me.

Sheltering in place is no fun in congested apartment building with loud and rude tenants living on all sides of you. Our ancestors didn't shelter in place in high rise apartments with constant stomping on the floors above....
People who cannot leave those kinds of situations will literally go insane in short time. And I expect to see an increase in tenant-on-tenant violence.
LOL, yeah, you and Greg!
i have been following a guy from Wuhan on Strava for moths now.
i should hope our police is not worse than chinese
Well I finally plucked up the courage to go for a run here today in the Czech Republic.
I didn't even make it to the end of my street before 3 sub-machine gun totting, face mask and dark shade wearing, military police turned the corner in my direction.
They looked at me and looked at each other as though deciding whether to arrest me.
Then one of them said to me - 'Run, Forrest, Run!' and all three started laughing.
More runners out on my normal route than ever today.
Yesterday I found my local HS track locked for the first time ever. Over 8 miles, I encountered 3 walkers and one runner. I can’t imagine being cooped up inside.
