For me it's about the same, nothing has changed but noticed on Strava people have decreased their mileage. How about you?

The first two weeks of everything shutting down I stopped running as much. I had a race mid March that was scrapped the day before, so I took a few days off to let some nagging things heal and to see how the world would shake out.
Had 3 down weeks but the last 2 weeks have been higher than before the shutdowns. Once I recalibrated my schedule around changes in work, child care, etc. I was able to get back into a rhythm.
Been running the same 2 routes over and over again. Escaped to the woods this weekend for a 14 miler. Been wearing a mask while running most of this month. No real workouts, just miles with some quicker stuff thrown in when the moment strikes.
I look forward to my daily run more than ever.
Way less. I'm tired of dodging entire families walking side by side every 100 meters.
I'm doing more. It's the only time I leave the house now, feels like less of a chore than it did before and I find myself wanting to keep running instead of gong home.
Less.
Work (healthcare) is a little busier than usual
my mileage has stayed roughly the same through the last year.
about 1 mpw

+1 same as this guy
Really bummed due to a slight knee injury. Was consistently at 55 mpw and planned to push it to 65-70. Now about 38 but with the shutdown now extended to May 15, I hope to rebound soon to some higher mileage weeks.
About the same. I have more time to train with working from home, but less desire to do so with all trails closed, the net effect is I'm running what I planned to run next summer, after my racing season mileage wise.
I am staying the same about 70-75mpw, but last few weeks have looked a lot different. Usually have two quality workouts, and the rest easy days (7:45-8:00 pace). Now with no idea when the next race might be just doing base miles @7-7:15 pace. I would use this time to up my mileage with doubles, but have some plantar fasciitis flaring up.

+2 just hit a second consecutive mpw PR (90 total)
Went up for 50ish to 65+ish doing more base work and less track speed work
I live in one of the hardest hit neighborhoods in the US and the amount of people that are out and about and running in the local park is embarrassing. I've cut almost all running out. I guess if I wanted to I could just wait and run late at night but I've been using the time to rest and get rid of a nagging PF issue and it's almost completely gone. I ran yesterday and did a bunch of strides and no pain today. I'll just run when I feel like it.

NYC? New Orleans?
Sorry to hear that. I'm fortunate that I live in a county with less than 100 cases and no deaths so far. Glad you're on the mend and I hope you can resume training soon when you're 100%!
Also maybe run before the crack of dawn? Parks should be empty then. Just a thought
Less because I was training for Boston, and now I don’t see the point of doing long runs etc. I definitely enjoy the simple act of going for a run more than I did before.
I live in New Orleans and it's ridiculous how many more people are out running outside. The parks are packed,the lakefront is as well. I've never seen as many people outside. I've mentioned before on the public track we have at city park, I've seen like a 100 people walking laps on it simultaneously. I stick to the park roads but tons of people on there walking,cycling,whatever. Fortunately those park runs are my second runs of the day and just super easy so I'm not to bothered by it. It's just people don't know run etiquette.
Roughly the same for me, but the motivation is definitely lower.
I have a lot of free time without work so I'm running consistently almost every day now which I did not do before. Before lockdown 15mpw. After lockdown 50 mpw. It's a lot easier to train with more free time per day.
Quite a bit more, because I'm not spending two hours a day in my car, commuting.
I'm running less, but exercising more. I used to just take the kids to their activities and go running while I waited. Now they have no activities so I've become their training partner. I've never played so much soccer and baseball in my life. I'm going to need Tommy John surgery when this is over. I finally went for a run this morning after not running for 2 weeks and I immediately got a -11 performance change.
