Still run! Get outside and stay active! This is good healthy therapy.
Basic common sense needs to prevail so yes, not attending large crowd events if in the risky range is a good idea.
We are still training here pounding the wet pavement and paddling hard on the water.
Cheers!
NYC half marathon cancelled with “guaranteed, non-complimentary” entry to next year’s event. Why can’t they roll over the registration fee? Where is all that money going if the race isn’t being held?
This kind of experts talking all bullshit….if that so what’s the purpose of circuit break??? If don’t exercise will u die??
Obese people should be exempted from wearing a mask because it’s already hard for them to breathe while walking.
Now, I started to search about corona virus after all store have to close and public school and facilities close…and I already feel dizzy like a having flu staying at home…
Hahahaha..Singapore is Malaysia when its was MCO 1 week.. Lolz.
Who are these experts? Given the dismal track record of the “experts” in Singapore, why should people continue to trust these experts?
A video said even if you get over it, it is a respiratory disease and scaring or permanent lung damage is possible, so don’t risk your VO2 Max.
Just bc you’re not riding the plane… doesn’t mean empty flights aren’t taking off:/
(X) Doubt
remember when experts said no need to wear masks in Feb? now what?
I wonder if Manchester will be cancelled, London etc. I’ve decided to pull out of a race this weekend due to illness awful fever so I wouldn’t be up to running anyway, I dont think its corona btw ����
Wise words Sage. I know the frustration well, here in HK got the marathon cancelled last month and I was so ready to race in but.. kind of a bummer but well, there will be other races in the near future. Trying to keep up the good work, enjoying the workout and staying healthy.
Expert still dont know where this virus come from or its an invisible gas. Very little is known and the covid19 is still keeping the expert hunting for cure. This virus is intelligent, it hide, it learn and it can mutate. It hide itself in your body and attack when the host it most vulnerable. So early check up may not review symptoms or test maybe negative.
So for your whole safety and the safety of others, please stay at home.
I was going to asked this, i live here in Paris 7th. I went back from jogging before the pandemic and now have to stop again. I felt suffocated and depress in my small apartment. I’ve tried home exercise but i doesn’t suit me, it feels different when you sweat a lot but i am scared to go for a run since there’s a lot of COVID19 cases here. Any advice? Thanks
Why run on near empty trail what happens if you need help and it’s no people or robbers? Adjust time more people more safety from being robbed or hurt by bad people
Most of the local races are being cancelled or rescheduled here in NY (Nassau County). Some are even changing to virtual races. Be safe out there everyone!
Man I have a race tomorrow at a track meet,
I really hope all goes well with this coronavirus sh*t and everyone is safe and healthy
only idiots listen to experts. who the hell are these experts anyway? if there are really experts, how come they didnt save the world?
Solid info on the situation at hand for us runners! Thanks Coach Nate ����
Just stay at home for crying out loud. You can still exercise at home. A lot of home exercises are available nowadays you just have to be creative.
Excellent job, very responsible advice. If everyone acts this maturely, we are going to be okay.
Common, low risk doesn’t mean no risk, just excercise at home. Covid-19 can airborne. WHO say one. Unless their credibility needs reassessment.
hahahahahaa guys, for real???!! do you think that we are sooo idiot to blindly follow another wrong guidance of yours???!! please lah, enough is enough! few months ago you guys told us theres no need of wearing a mask unless you are sick. then now youre telling us that there is a change in guidance how to wear mask. This mask thing is not even finished… then you start to create another nonsense by saying this! how would you even dare to do such things! millions lives are on the damn stake! when another hundreds covid cases are found, dont even you try to say that its our fault!!! and I hope you’ll still have balls to face your own people!
Hopefully Hardrock won’t be cancelled. I really would like to run it this year.
It might not be a good idea to work as a uber driver at the present time because you never know who you going to pick up, he or she might be a potential coronavirus asymptomatic carrier.
On the upside, it is now legal to run away (social distance) from pedestrians LOL�� gives me more excuses to run. Just do the Bekele glance as you pass everybody scared of the flu.
I trained for a 1/2 marathon, but the event had to be cancelled due to forest fire affecting air quality, I just ran at easy pace on my own on event day, since I had already prepared for it, no issue whatsoever. Just keep moving.
when exercising breathe more take in more air no need to wear mask, so in normal activity in out door why should we wear mask seen the “EXPERTS” say risk of being infected even if exercising outdoors are very low
Well said. People need to get back to basic health, if your sick stay at home and dont visit at risk people.
I was really looking forward to this years season and training is well under way but this is bigger then me and everyone else out there wanting to compete.
Hopefully it gets undercontrol soon!!
We run to be healthy and inspire others to be healthy. So make the healthier choice.
Please Stop traveling, you’ll spread it and accidently kill the seniors, common sense people….. be safe…. if you wanna Run, Run home and be responsible!!!
Most chill dude during a pandemic. Thank you for advice and channel. I heard runners are at a higher risk because what running does to immune system or lungs…? Is that even true?
no le useless info, so which place lower chance. home, supermarket or going out exercise
This is awesome advice. I actually just posted a vid where I designed a 5k for just my family and it was honestly a lot of fun despite it not being a real race. It was a good way to keep the spirits up:)
Are these the experts who say don’t wear mask in the early days of this current pandemic?
I think the biggest issue here is ourselves,
we’ve seen all over the world, cases and deaths sky-rocketing. Yet people in this trying times still want to go outside. EVEN now! Tell me. Is it the govt fault this people want go out? We should be grateful govt haven’t restrict our movement. As normal civilians, it is our duty to protect our homeland. Regardless of what experts say, it is up to us to save this country. The power is in the people according to democracy anyway
I’m just tagging training runs as races on Strava now �� that’s my plan!
I understand the other commenter saying that running can be crippling, but obviously that is not true for many people. I did hurt my knee from running about 6 years ago, and I even stayed away from playing tennis that summer. A doctor did an MRI, and said I have arthritis, but then he said that 50% of people over 50 have some arthritis. He set me up to get a cortizone shot, but I did research, and I decided not to get the cortizone shot, because all it does is cover up symptoms/pain. I know the power of diet, and I improved my diet eating mostly whole foods-plant based while walking a few miles regularly. I really thought I would never run again, but gradually I came back to 100%. I started running again, and I run 3-4 miles twice or 3 times a week along with calisthenics. I adopted a shorter running stride with a higher cadence (180 steps a minute roughly) according to a youtube video, and adjusting posture minutely as well as breathing. Where as I used to run an 8- 8:30 minute mile I have slowed down to maybe a 10 minute mile with this higher cadence, but I gain the same benefits. There is less stress on knees as I am not extending as far. Be careful not to make running a compulsive thing. You are much more likely to get an injury that way. The style of running that I do gives me the same degree of cardiovascular benefits as well as other rewards. Look up negative pressure (on joints) while running. I rarely run more than 10 miles a week. I did run 18 miles in one week which is absolute max for me. People can get in trouble with the Superman complex. The next thing you know they run a marathon, and many years later they need both knees replaced. That happened to my father. He ran 12 marathons in his 50’s…Take Care!
The same experts who said there was no evidence of community spread����������
Are those experts the same ones who advocated Wearing masks is only for the sick???
In Jan 2020 when I wore mask ��
So many brainwashed idiots scolded me
What is so difficult to understand good experts’ Warning
Their Warning
Any Healthy looking person without fever
Can be spreading the CoViD 19 unknowingly!
Is the above warning that hard to comprehend???
Luckily there are brave doctors who dare to voice out Must wear masks! ������
No mask so what?!
DIY face shield and mask!
Please don’t just use your brain to score in exams, ok?
Will your degree, dip and cert save your life?
Isn’t Applied knowledge power?
They only get a few droplets or aerosol spray in the outdoors as opposed to working out with someone else next to you for 10 mins in the gym.
Extremely sensible, grounded philosophy and advice for all runners
I had been training for the NYC half marathon since November under a new training plan. My training was going so well that it looked I was poised for a 3 minute PR. Sucks that the race got canceled, but now I have confidence in the quality of the training I’ve been doing!
Some with this ‘expert’ nonsense. 1 month ago, these ‘experts’ also say no need wear masks if you are ok, but now all need to wear.
Now, only walking need masks, exercising no need. Bruh???? Isn’t exercising produce more saliva droplets because you are panting? Why no need mask? If you can’t wear masks while running, then don’t run. Not exercising for 1 month will die ah?
And as for those who can’t breathe properly with a mask, you all never experience wearing MOPP 4 carrying field pack and run around the tracks, don’t be gu niang.
I remembered some experts also said that risk of infection from transient contact, meaning in public transport, or while shopping, is “very low”. But yet there was an outbreak in Mustafa, and now go out must wear mask, practise social distancing, even get fined. So believe these “experts” at your own peril.
pls.. who are these experts.. are they the same ones who said not to wear a mask if you are well.
At least Boston was delayed instead of canceled, this time in Boston’s beleaguered last 10 years. Maybe it’ll get delayed to next year’s day & become an ultramarathon.
best way to run nowtime is this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqeN7LyfUAM
Skipped parkrun today. As much as I enjoy it, its not worth the risk. Plenty of other times ahead.
Geneva hasn’t been canceled yet but probably will at the rate things are going. Really disappointed since it’s my first half and also my first time really training for a race. At least I have access to a treadmill in case the German government issues a general home quarantine lol.
I like to practice Social distancing…. when a group of us are finishing a competitive race….six feet ahead….
Serious: I like what you said here….Great Attidude! gosh…is that attitude dude. lol Lets Appreciate being healthy!
I enjoy your video. It is very educational. You show much more intelligence, common sense, and compassion then some runners that just show their frustration. Personally, I enjoy my training runs as much as the races themselves. For me, the races are not really necessary but just a confirmation of what i already know from my training. I am healthy, first and foremost that we are all healthy.
Yes, it has become a global crisis now. Thank you for your critical advice, Coach Nate!!! Let us all stay safe. ❤️��
I listened to one of runner doctors. He warned about after run effects that period after race or long run, our immunity system will drop.It may be to risky to fight Virus.
Here in Italy we are in a lockdown situation and things are definitely hard. We are not allowed to go out except to go to work or to buy food. We must be ready to declare the reason we are out to police officers. Shops are closed and there are long rows outside food markets. Running and walking is still allowed but we must stay at least 1 meter far from each other.
I try to maintain my fitness routine doing some exercises at home because it keeps my mind healthy, since I work in an ICU. If the mind is healthy even the body will be stronger.
Please be safe! Do whatever you can to avoid this situation we are living right now!
Man I was feeling better after 5days and went for a bike ride 7miles in I was hacking and wheezing and its flared up again. If you get it don’t rush back to training
I am from Hong Kong, for some of you who may not know where it is, a small city beneath mainland China where the virus exploded. I’d like to talk about my running in this tough time though it would be a little bit long.
At first in late January I started to run with a face mask, when we’re told not to go out unless necessary (because I didn’t want to stop for anything but only injuries). But later I found that running with a mask was a bad idea, not because of the breathing, but because the functionality of the mask will decline when it gets wet, and they are not designed for intensified breathing. Most importantly, I had to save some masks for my family. There was a shortage of face masks within the whole city and every mask was so valuable that even if you had queued up for 5, 6 hours, you still got nothing because there had been already so many people in front of you. I could not waste masks like that.
Reading the news everyday I saw the number of infected skyrocketed, I felt hopeless and fear, overwhelming fear. This fear actually stopped me from tying up the running shoes when I was doing it. Heavy rains never had this power, nor summer storms, nor midnight times, nor sleepless nights. Due to the fear I stopped running for a week, even though I had plenty of time to run, sunny cool great weather outside, a pair of fresh legs everyday. I was depressed and thought about life every night before bed. What is the most important to me in my life? What is my goal in this life? How to live my life fully? How to be the real me, for I aware of the knowledge that I can only live ONCE? Then one morning I woke up and came up with an answer and I wrote that down on my running diary “For the sake of freedom, I will not be controlled by Fear anymore.”
I ran that morning, and I did not carry a mask. I said to myself “The virus is out there, bring it on, I will still run anyway.” Life is a gift. But if I just let fear reign, life becomes a punishment. There’s no word to describe how I felt about that run. I mean the sight was the same, birds and trees, sky and sea. What made the difference was your decision to conquer something deeply inside, controlling you without your consent. But that doesn’t mean I didn’t care about anything since then. I ran on small, nearly empty roads, at quiet times to avoid people. And I started to stay away from news and media from time to time to keep my inner peace, because well…there’s no good news nowadays when I turn on the TV everyday. Besides, I pretty sure media was a “fear amplifier” for me for the last two months.
The experts in infectious disease told us that the virus is mainly transmitted by droplets, direct contact and in air-tight space. You run lonely outside, don’t touch anything and disinfect your hands after your run and you should be alright. I believe most of us won’t stop just because of races being cancelled. We keep running because we have found the intrinsic values of long distance running. Keep running and stay motivated in hard times. Hope the world get better soon.
Under the Sun is safe because there is UV emitted by the Sun don’t need an expert.Not forgetting free vitamin D.
Looks at current state of the world and Singapore
Hah…yea, whatever you say experts. They keep saying this is a virus they are still learning about, but make statements like these so confidently.
I’m calling it now, in 1-2 months time:
Experts: Everyone should avoid exercising outdoors as Covid-19 has a high chance of spreading.
I agree! Running is fun and healthy regardless if there’s a race we are training for.
whatever other virus come in the future, don’t trust experts, government and any organizations, only trust yourselfwear mask first. This is from the experience of 2003 Sars and 2019 wuhan virus.
Take note. Its just said ‘very low’. Got chances la to get new cluster.. why not try it. It just covid what?
My very first 5k was supposed to be tomorrow and it was cancelled yesterday. I totally get it, but I wanted to cry when I found out.
These experts convinced the PAP dumbasses to announce ” Do not wear masks if you are not sick” during the early stage of this virus mass infections…… And now this???
Its not like wear mask then everything will be fine, main thing is still distancing, wanna exercise chose somewhere with less people, nothing to do stop going outside. And wear your masks properly, so many people just pull it down to the mouth or even to the chin, whats the point.
On the bright side my Clifton 6s in blue n yellow match your Hoka top!
Sage is it safe to run with a small group since races is cancelled. Like 2-3 runners.
And I also saw so many people surely not go out for essential works.
I was upset that stores are out of TP because of all the corona virus ��… but now I’m more upset that my local running store was out of Canaberry Spring Energy ��.
if that’s the case then there’s not needed for walking, strolling in the park, just practice distancing
sure, you might be true about that. but, we wont forget how hilarious it is when your guidance few months ago was totally upside down with the new mandatory on wearing mask ��♀️
Well-said. Positive outlook. It all happens for a reason. Trust the process. It’ll all work out. Thanks Sage.
Many races are being postponed or canceled. I have a pile of virtual race medals that I never ran. I’m going to run my own races during this crisis!
Stay safe and be smart everyone!
When the runners say dont race you know know this virus is serious!����
0:44 “…people doing strenuous exercises” proceeds to show aunties and uncles strolling without masks on…GG
Great video Sage:) I’m currently training for a local marathon that was scheduled for April 25th. I think I will just continue my training block and then have my own marathon on a local trail. We could all do virtual marathons too. The good news is, nobody is alone. It’s a real bummer but we get the privilege of being fit and able to run!
Halo CNA please be socially responsible also! Government is trying the best to encourage people stay indoor but you are doing this?
Ya.. trust their experts u die faster.. just like no sick no need to wear mask lol.. this is stupid news.. have they go and see what country are doing? Do they still go running or jogging? Stubborn and stupid news.
This is just plain stupid. Just have a simple rule stating go outside, must wear mask. Why is strenuous exercise less risky than walking? Doesn’t make sense. Must be the same brain who came up with the ridiculous idea of cyclists sharing the footpath with pedestrians.
Hi, can you get Covid from running outside? I live in a very windy area. The city is medium. The big city is 45min away.
I WANNA EXERCISE!!!
Yesterday, Singapore got the HIGHEST NUMBER of infected cases but I DON’T CARE!!
Now the EXPERT says it’s SAFE to exercise, then I’LL GO OUTSIDE!!!
LET’S GO OUTSIDE AND CARRY THE VIRUS!!! YEAH!!!!
None of you can be like Bane of The Dark Knight. None of yyyyouuuuu.
Joggers do you mind not running past bus stops? Some of us still have to go to work and have to take the bus. Last thing we wanna do is get your exhalations or sweat on us while flagging the bus or waiting for the bus.
How come they call them expert? I don’t think “the expert” experience in handling covid19 before.
It’s better to stay indoor. Now the cases increased to 6k. Ignorance and Arrogant is main issue in Singapore.
Thank you for encouraging thoughts of others, and how our carrying the virus could affect them. And also for providing a little perspective.
i see this as an oportunity to focus on my training. Not having to worry about races is good sometimes:)
For crying out loud: You won’t die just because you can’t exercise for a month during this partial lockdown, but you could die when you exercise outside and got infected and spread to other people. Look good and fit not the priority here; not getting infected and die and potentially spread to other top priority. Sure you grow fat here and there in your waistline during this period without exercise is that really a BIG DEAL? Are you working in the porn industry or are you a model that you need to stay fit and pretty al the time? Give me a break. You can exercise indoor and get back in good shape after the lockdown. All outdoor exercise SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED during this partial lockdown period
I frown when I still see those people running jogging without mask in the public during this partial lockdown. Please exercise some restraint and common sense during this tough period.
One of my upcoming races was cancelled, the other is postponed ��
Thank you ��. Whats the other alternative for running as I live in cold weather so can’t go outside to run and the local gym is closed because of Coronavirus.
Why would we need to be taught this? If you are running really fast (assuming non crowded area), it’s obvious you don’t wear it. Common sense. What has Singapore become?
Shotout from indiana to everyone in the world on lockdown. Be safe everyone.
623 new cases, 5050 total case
..yet still ppl are talk abt jog,exercise etc….wat happen to u all huh.
Can someone explain why exercising outdoor is okay? Literally defeats the purpose of this whole circuit breaker isnt it? How are they experts? That straight up stupidity right there.
Still, drivers without masks, no one cares. We all can use exercise as an excuse to go out.
To be honest? No, we shouldn’t. Not because Corona Virus is deadly, but even being a relatively weak disease no one wants to seek treatment in a chaotic health system overpopulated with sick and panicked people. More over, there are those who really need health care in this situation, the eldery ones for example, there’s no need to take part in this scenario making things more complicated than already are.
Apparent PMD riders at Northpoint area have their mask pulled down to chin and with some no mask at all.
YOU CANNOT GENERALIZE THE THEOREM JUST BY CONSIDERING ONE “EXPERT”‘S PERSONAL OPINION.
1:16 Wow…… la “Virus particle is distributed in a wider area” and that’s why it’s safer AH?? Are you really an expert btw? If the person passing by you coughs then that’s it BRO!!
Please CNA>>>>>>> Please don’t bring any “doctor” and call them “experts”. Verify who they are which university, working in which hospital, their career and ALL OF THEM!!!
YESTERDAY Singapore got the highest number of infected people. WANNA EXERCISE? Go ahead.
Hahaha so much hate. Anyway “masks” is really not an easy word to pronounce, great job to the girl narrating
Love your advice. Runners should set a good example to others. Cancelling events outright even postponing them for a year is the right message that we as a running community care about the wider community. Thank you for sharing your wisdom about a most important issue that affects us all.
Are these the “experts” who advices everyone to ONLY put in mask if they are sick?
“If you see NEA officer and you are not wearing mask,start running and don’t stop. Because running no need to wear mask”
The media has created a pandemic of HYSTERIA. Cancelling or Shutting everything down is insane & stupid & ineffective
Why does the host speak in a ‘Non-Asian’ accent, in a channel about news in Asia? In fact why do most of CNA journalists have a non-Asian accent?
Can we run two marathons in a month? One of my marathons is postponed to August, and I have another one scheduled in July. They are 5 weeks apart. I am not sure if I need to defer one to next year
Props for the video and emphasis on social responsibility with the virus and climate change!
This just shows why it’s so important to wear a facemask when out in public.
Fun fact: Boxers use to wear a standard surgical facemask while training to constrict airflow.
You still get ppl shouting at individuals exercisng alone as well due to their fustration at lockdown
This video just come on time! My marathon in next weekend was just cancelled. I have been training for this race for a long time. I was frustrated, but you are right, healthy is more important
ARE U SERIOUS???..Why is this so called Expert encouraging people to exercise outdoor when the dormitories cluster issue not settled in fact cases is growing daily.. Do we need to have another cluster to grow and then start panicking again… Please stop being a “Child” in the middle of serious outbreak SG is curently facing… I suggest strongly to get the real Expert from South Korea, Germany or New Zealand to handle our crisis here and contain the virus immediately.
Great video. Thanks for giving your prospective on the current situation. This reminds me while I like competing, training is a long process. The training I do now will help me in the future.
Like that I will be xiao liao, die of confusion instead of covid19?
I run outdoor but I avoid to run with somebody. I just run alone and in open field. I also avoid to run more than 10k to avoid overtraining and weaken my immune system. I run 5k to 8k just to maintain my fitness.
I feel like I’m not the only one who struggles to motivate myself to exercise alone, team accountability is huge, so it sucks that covid is threatening/limiting this…
The way I see it, you can still enjoy running on your own without having to be involved in any official events! This takes away the trouble of having to travel and the risks associated with it and yet you still enjoy the benefits of running! The race events will still be there at a later time but it’s important that you’re able to eventually be there also!
Just watched this after watching Seth DeMoor’s ‘COVID-19 episode’ and I think your approach and information was much better. This is a serious issue and isn’t something that we should take lightly. It’s not an overblown issue. People are at serious risk. We may have zero or low risk, but plenty others out there could easily be killed by this virus. Thanks Sage ����
i suppose those with virus should be too tired to exercise…
when they spray sweat… to passerby; obviously the runner has minimal risks. whats the point?
This is a poor public announcement.
Stay indoors as much as possible. Singapore is a small space, if many people exercise outdoors, then social distancing is pointless.
Hi Sage, Love your videos. Any tips / recommended workouts for those of us under (self-) quarantines, not able to leave home for 14 days without gym equipment?
How to stay as fit as possible?
Maybe, if only you alone exercising outdoor, but, when its outdoor, and everyone is exercise, what can you expect?✌
You know how credible the “experts” are when your common sense tells you otherwise. They keep trying to change your common sense with “expert” tips. In these difficult times when the authorities are trying to downplay the severity of the issue, trust your own common sense.
People around the world are rarely doing outdoor activities because of corvid-19 and yet Singapore is encouraging people to do so, are you guys not afraid to be ridicule by the rest of the world?
They close the beach but allow joggers to crowd the pathway….
This is really helpful, Nate. I’ve been asking myself the same questions and processing it.
I’ve got a question for you Sage: If nobody races Boston this year because of this, but i go out and run 4hrs28mins, does that make me the Boston winner? And will Hoka sponsor me?
I would say, experts have been proven wrong before. Observe people moving around outdoors, especially near or inside parks. 60% are wearing masks, 40% are not. Those who are not wearing masks, are either cycling, running, pretending to run, or are simply trying to make an exhausted looking face, showing they are out of breath. Do you not realize we are in a global pandemic? If you are not infected, and do not wear a mask outside, you can catch the virus, even if you think the chances are low. If you are infected (asymptomatic) and are out there running and cycling, you can spread the virus through droplets, and these droplets are carried in your own slipstream (read up on this). You often see runners huffing and puffing, or without shirts, sweating profusely… this cannot be 100% safe (these were the same droplets that spread the virus earlier in gyms). To those who are making up all these rules, and for the sake of our collective health/safety, Please try to imagine a scenario where a hundred, or even a thousand asymptomatic (or yet to be tested) dorm workers running around your neighborhood without masks (even if they’re 2 meters apart). There’s nothing stopping this. The govt should consider a blanket rule on mask wearing, and not bend backwards to justify outdoor exercise. Remember, fitness does not mean immunity to this deadly virus.
My question is can I go out and make a run for 30 minutes and go back to my house without touching anybody?
Remember this virus started from just 1 person.. just need 1..
My half is April 18. SLC Marathon has sent emails saying it’s still on, for now.
Just what I needed! Thanks Sage one of the best, welcoming presences on YouTube. Some people take themselves way too seriously.
Perfect video I needed. Right now I’m a 3200 runner in 7th grade and my first invitational for track got canceled because of the virus. Thanks for the video
“Expert say” again. I recall it was also an “expert say” situation about those who are not sick do not need to wear a mask.. Look at now? Everyone is required to wear mask.
Can you guys please kindly name each and every “experts” that say things of such nature so we can all give the “credits” that is due and call him/her out for being such an “expert”?
If not, words of such nature carries no weight at all doesn’t it? Seems like anyone can claim to be an expert and speak nonsense that has absolute zero logic.
Did the “expert” fried his brains while studying to be an “expert”??
The current reality of things now for us is to just continue our own personal training routines for our well being.
With the Boston Marathon pushed into the timeframe of the Chicago Marathon (hopefully) things are getting complicated.
These are times when reasonable and responsible members lead the way in our community.
Stay strong, smart and well!
This is pure stupid. Why walkers need to wear a mask while runners don’t???? Those runners tend to breath heavier, if they are infected, they will release more droplets than walkers. And all the ppl pass by or run after them will be more likely infected. There are many ppl jogging in the park connector, the jogger density is really high as compared to HDB area. Pls just walk with mask, and STOP jogging!!!!
Expert say bla bla bla… and see how the case rising up less than 1.5 weeks the amount double up and the spike is 730++ cases. Facts dont lie.
Imagine not knowing about the virus or not even from a science background and thinking you’re smarter than experts xD Joke Singaporeans
Half marathon next weekend got cancelled which is disappointing, but as long as the full in May doesn’t get cancelled I won’t get too upset
I don’t train for an marathon race but its becoming more habitual and a hobby to me.
I went to walk down the river yesterday, expecting it to be empty since it was my first time outside in a month, and found the path busier than I’ve ever seen it. We’re doomed
Thanks for a video with 100% responsible messaging. Just consider this time a de-load and possibly an opportunity to enhance your training with some indoor or isolated cross-training. I’m on my spin bike right now typing this ��
The answer is no. Don’t fucking go and stay at home, you’ll thank me when it’s all over.
Thank you for this, Sage! I’m starting to realize the possibility that my first ever marathon (the Vermont Marathon in May) may be cancelled. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t other great races further in the future that I can make my first marathon. You’ve helped put things in perspective.
You’re calm and sensible, not hysterical. Don’t lose focus of your goals, just be cautious!
One thing I do now, is to not run when I have a cold. I usually always do that and end up develop bronchitis. Now zero running until completely healthy.
Love that The Run Experience has taken a health, wellness, & protection approach to prevent Coronavirus contact. So many sporting events w/large crowds have been suspended & your words of wisdom are spot on! -Sam
Hi, I have question about training, should I add once a week hill repeats to build some strenght when prepare to road marathon? Now I hava lot of time because my race was canceled and postponed:/
Thank you in advance
In my country Panama all running events have being cancel and all over the region and soon are going to cancel flights to Europe from Panama. All the running events are going to be re schedule. Greetings
Running races happen year round. There is no season like other sports, so sit tight.
“Avoid people, who are sick” People can be sick without showing symptoms for days.
I’m feeling the toilet paper shortage in boulder too. the only TP I could find was an industrial box of 60 rolls on amazon
Here in Italy I can’t even get put of the House!! I’ve been doing a bunch of tabatas, loads of burpees, some aerobic training and basically muscle workouts (squats, lunges, jumps)….BUT I NEED TO RUN ��������
Thanks Dr. Chris for this! Here in Japan, we are requested to use masks inside sports gyms. But outdoors, I think there is no need. Especially nowadays that weather here becomes so hot and humid. Very prone to heatstroke or collapse:)
I think def no. Unless your exercising by yourself in an area with no people around. If there are people around wear a mask and keep your distance. The virus spreads through saliva and sweat so avoid if possible rubbing shoulders with someone who could be contaminated. The virus does its best work in group/crowd situations.
Why? Why? Why? Becoz expert said so lor can go out exercise.(Pull Hair)
Low chance does not mean no chance.
A small number of people could be infected even on a low probability, as an infected person jogging or brisk walking without a mask would be leaving a trail of breath laden with virus, and infecting people without masks all along the way.
You wear a mask to protect yourself, as well as others.
No need to wear masks when running, cycling or doing brisk walking, but do not think inward, of yourself only, look out for those who you are passing.
But 2 months ago, LHL, CCS, the Task Force and MOH also REPEATEDLY said no mask is necessary if we are feeling well! So how sure are you all this time? Heavy breathing while running no need mask and it is safe?? Walking and strolling mask up or get fined?? If only I could find a way of getting this detail to the international news media and see what other experts have to advise!!
Thank you Sage. Too many are focused on their personal risk. It’s important to make individual sacrifices for the good of those around you who are vulnerable.
How long can a runner peak? I mean if a race is cancelled and rescheduled after 2 months? Can a runner sustain that peak level for 2 or more months?
My other question…if a race got postponed for 2 months, does that mean you can get better because you have 2 more months of training time for the race?
The NYC 1/2 Marathon got canceled. When I read that email and when it sunk in realizing I won’t be competing in NYC this next weekend, it was like I was in the Marine Corps all over again. JUST BENT OVER A TABLE getting BEAMED in the cheeks with a Barb Wire Rod for year’s on end.
Yes… because it’s nothing but another flu. Unfortunately, all the hysterics closed all races for the year.
Haiz. What is expert…. they really Wan to do clear virus or clear human…
Is not about mask, its about staying home. Want to reduce the virus then stay home.
Over training = weakened immune system = susceptible to infection..WATCH OUT!
Thank you for this. So agree with everything you’ve said. Was due to run rotterdam marathon on 5th April but it has been postponed and am glad. Simply because need to be careful about my immediate family and community. Health first! The will be other races later in the year or next year. Take care and keep up the good work. ����
