I saw Andrew Neil pushing this narrative but I thought it was more of a fringe view. Brexit has really caused a very fundamental shift in the UK rhetoric. It is just mirroring the polarisation of the US more and more.

I've ran in front of oncoming traffic to avoid people feeling uncomfortable with me passing them.
I roll down my sleeves to touch surfaces, in case I have it.
Please don't suggest I don't give a bollix.

Look, I of course get you are taking all precautions. I just think the mentality that "it doesn't apply to ME because...." is probably not what the world needs at the moment.People say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

One I can see happening and find funny are people who have never walked further than from the couch to the fridge all of a sudden worried about a 2km restriction on exercise

He's following the restrictions, taking precautions, same as me and most others.

I think it's pretty clear a lot of us have very different idea's about what is meant.
Like if laz said, there's an empty racing track and he took a dozen laps, no one would give a bollox. It's not, here's the area in which you can run, try and cover as much ground as possible in that space.
That being said, I'm still in/on bed having been working all day eating foxes glaciers....People say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

Have to say fair play to the GAA manager who sent us a strength and core work out. 4 exercises, 30 seconds on 10 seconds rest and do 4 rounds. Can be done in the back garden or in the sitting room so hopefully lads use it.

I strongly disagree on this. Lazare going for a 50 minute run is probably less likely to cause him injury than the likes of me running 20 seconds for a bus. Needing help/rescue from the emergency services is one of the reasons for encouraging people to not do extreme stuff.
I don't think the risk of injury whilst training is much of a factor, they want people INSIDE their houses as much as possible. They made a few small exceptions including allowing people out for a small bit of exercise. It's depressing that at every stage people are unable to look past their own vested interests.

I did see some sites that have "brief workouts" on their pages which start at 1 minute and go up to 20mins.

Enjoying people getting pissy about one person going for a run avoiding everyone in doing so. Every single person I've seen running has taken a very wide birth when coming near others.
Earlier, I was out in Finglas beside Kildonan Park and literally saw 20+ people playing a game of football. I really want to see them clamping down on that kind of group more than a person going for a run yet respecting the distanceGo big or go homeless.

I didn't appreciate his questioning of why "intelligent" people would bother determining a rough estimate of a radius from their home but he's right that people shouldn't *need* to know the precise definition of brief or precise distances to follow the guidelines.
The guys here who may be exceeding the technical guidelines are smart enough to make the decision as to what is right and wrong from the government's fundamental directive.
They're the least of our worries in terms of spreading the disease. It's an adjustment for everyone but I suspect all of us here are making smart decisions.

Its probably futile complaining about people justifying their own exceptions to the rules. We're not a compliant society and people will continue to angle this to suit their selfish needs.
Stress weakens your immune system and increases your chance of contracting Corona so probably best to come to a point of acceptance for your own well being that people will continue to be dicks.Last edited by The Situation; 28-03-20, 16:34.Profit before people.

Originally posted by Gimmeabreakinitially I had no issue with Laz's run, but then I saw the map of his run on twitter and spotted that he went running out the road to my house, but thankfully didn't pass my gate. So all I can say is run away Laz, just not in the vicinity of my gaff, not in my back yard you could say.

Motivation, Discipline, Clarity, Mood control, frustration control, productivity etc
When I am in a decent habit and schedule all that stuff above is so much easier and clearer. If I drop it or get thrown out of whack, all of it suffers.
I can see why keeping up the running is really important given my own perspective.This may or may not be an original thought of my own.
All efforts were made to make this thought original but with the abundance of thoughts in the world the originality of this thought cannot be guaranteed.
