After one week of lockdown, the British public are suffering from muscle soreness, shin splints and other sports-related injuries.
The phenomenon occurred after hordes of new runners took to the streets to capitalise on their allotted one exercise per day, despite usually opting to watch Netflix, order Greek takeaway and pretend that the outside world doesn’t exist.
Helen from Carlisle said: “given the choice I would always choose binge-watching House with a takeaway over doing any exercise. But now that my time outdoors is limited, going for a run feels a lot more exclusive and appealing.”
“I’ve not really done any sports before, so I decided to start slow by running 5k every day this week. Then I did core exercise in the afternoon and a 20 minute HIIT session before bed.”
“It’s funny, everyone says that exercise is meant to feel good but I just feel really tired and my legs ache. I don’t think I’ll be doing any more of it.”
Tom from New Mills said “Pfft, running!?”
