The same, just following my coach’s training plan. The only difference is that we’re starting race-specific training about 2 weeks later than usual, despite there being no races until June or so (Germany). Fortunately the tracks where I live are still open.
Less... I’m biking more... Not much motivation for running right now... When I’m running, it’s just easy miles, building base for Fall races... 30-40 miles a week...
update, posts show about a 50% decrease for most runners answering the question. I plan on running an extra 10% this week.
Training is going better than ever!
Been stretching and icing twice a day just because!
Next stop - PR City!
Definitely more than I was prior to the shutdown, but that is primarily due to be healthy. Not sure if it is more than I would have otherwise, but it is certainly easier to follow a schedule when I'm always running by myself (June marathon hasn't been cancelled yet, so might as well be prepared). Not sure if I will continue at this mileage when it likely is cancelled though.
My other activities have decreased. Lifting has been decent, but had a short break while trying to figure out what I could still do with my available equipment. My biking has stopped completely. Actually cancelled my Zwift subscription. I would only ride when home alone, because my trainer is so loud, but I'm never home alone anymore. I'm a pretty fair weather rider. It has either been cold, windy or I prioritized my run for the day.
Way less here too... The situation where I live there are just so many people out even in the neighborhood I’m trying but my mileage is way down because I don’t feel good running like I’m in a pinball machine dodging people all the time.
i'm doing less miles. tons more yardwork though....
I've been doing less. I was training for Boston, but when I found out it was postponed, I decided to use this time to heal a nagging injury. The rest has helped so much. About ready to get going again.
I find all the posts very interesting. My hypothesis would have thought everyone would be running more which I'm trying to do. And my reason would be because people would have more time on their hands as well as being stressed with the world being turned upside down. But I guess what do I know???
All be safe.
This question on exercise during COVID-19 is being studied by researchers world wide! Check out this link and consider responding, it's a really short survey:
Less, much less
trying to home school three kids (two in kindergarten) plus work, plus we decided to get that puppy were were talking about, has left very little time for running. Kids can't go to their friends houses and play or go to the park, Dog needs to be walked and played with, work is busy. Running is limited. I am starting to get depressed about it.
A bit more because of all the zigzagging between all the pedestrians and other runners, but otherwise the same.
Way less. Way too many large families crowding the sidewalk. The roads are almost worse, as everyone in my city walks or runs with traffic. And although there are fewer cars on the roads, drivers know that they won't get pulled over so they completely disregard stop signs and traffic lights.
Dealing with a labral tear that I'm going to have to get repaired once elective surgeries are able to be done, but still able to get some good work in. Holding steady between 25-30 miles per week and doing a six-week "training plan" to keep some motivation up...working within my current physical restrictions and just letting myself have some fun feeing like I'm "in training". Gonna be a "4-6 month recovery process before any serious running is going to be able to be done" so I'm trying to give myself some semblance of a season because even if fall races are able to be had I'm looking at the local Turkey Trot being the earliest thing I can let myself even think about.
with all of the time, was doing way more.
then started to feel injury creep in and backed off
now filling the extra time with rest/core/strength/mid-day drinking
I train a little less but I'm not fooling myself about summer or fall races. I'm pretty sure there will be no big races until 2021.

I am in the same boat as this guy. I don't leave the house except to run. Mileage has been up and haven't missed a day in 3.5 weeks now.

Pretty much the same, but at least we didn't get a puppy. Who needs to run when you can argue with your wife instead?
About the same since the start of the year

Ewwww.... Kids and a dog sound dreadful.
Glad I have none of that baggage
