Like a lot of people, the flights I had booked to get me to the events I signed up to in 2020 have been cancelled, for example:
The Manchester Marathon has been rescheduled to October so that’s something to work with and toward. One small positive is that I should get more time to train…
Ironman Kazakhstan is in late August – could this be OK? Current advice is that it could be postponed…. Will the world be rid of Corona in time for it to go ahead as planned?
I’m assuming a 4-6 month delay to everything, the Government advice to the more mature and vulnerable is to self isolate for 12 weeks so that’s equivalent to 3 months and I suspect this measure is intended to help the health care providers deal with other cases during that time, thereby ‘flattening the curve’.
All hail the NHS!
This is a complex and dynamic situation that requires personal and social discipline that we are not currently accustomed to.
The guidelines changed and as a result, I was allowed out of self-isolation and back to work but now we have a curfew from 15:00 to 06:00 so this has made training outdoors a little more difficult.
The phrase ‘Force Majeure‘ springs to mind so I’m spending time working out alternative solutions and revising the programme schedule to see how much of the 40s 4 40 challenge I can still complete in 2020.
Watch this space…..
