Roberto Mar 2020 9:58pm, 12 Mar 2020 1,026 posts	0 Roberto It advises that you 'should' stay in your home and then tells you that you cannot go for a walk. Doesnt say you cant go for a run though.
Non-runner Mar 2020 10:11pm, 12 Mar 2020 348 posts	0 Non-runner I can see lots of self isolators walking around after midnight avoiding crowds. Can’t see how a walk direct from your door (no buses etc) would be a problem, especially in rural areas. As the only car free household on our estate, OH and I are usually the only people on foot anyway, you would think no-one else lived here.
Fragile Do Not Bend Mar 2020 10:17pm, 12 Mar 2020 5,529 posts	0 Fragile Do Not Bend I could walk for hours from my front door without seeing a soul (apart from those in a car), so I will still go out for some exercise if I’m isolated but feeling well.
