Todays permitted exercise!

[Mark G]

Having thought about it some more I think there are three key points about the exercise issue:-
1. The 'letter of the law' - you are allowed out to exercise once a day. Straightforward enough.
2. The intention, or 'spirit' of the law - to reduce the spread of the virus. I can't see anybody disagreeing with that much either.
3. The implications on the NHS or other services if through our incompetence or simply misfortune we end up needing their assistance.

Bearing all that in mind, apart from the fact that to some degree at least, increased duration equals increased risk (albeit probably slight, provided we are careful, stay local (ie run from home) and make sensible decisions) nothing actually suggests that longer duration training is wrong, and it's certainly not illegal as far as I can see.
I don't just train for races. I train to be out in the hills, and if there were no fell races ever I would still want to run on the fells for the sake of that alone. For all of the above reasons I intend to carry on running on my local hills - I won't be driving anywhere to do it, and I won't be with my usual group of friends, but I will carry on within both the letter and spirit of the current legislation.
