Damn Corona virus… I now find myself in mandatory self-isolation after a flight back from the United Kingdom almost 2 weeks ago.

Clearly I need to adapt my training to suit this unusual and unexpected set of circumstances but with the threat of events being cancelled, it’s casting a blanket of uncertainty over my current schedule.

For example, the Manchester Marathon has just been postponed, most likely to later this year…

Ironman have written to me stating that they expect ‘substantial and widespread event postponements in the coming weeks and months’ so i can only hope that this blows over well before August!

….and the flights I’ve already booked are now at risk, for example:

I remember a motivational quote that said ‘it’s not the strongest that survive, it’s the most adaptable to change’ so this pandemic and our response to it is going to be a good test of that maxim.

Good luck, everyone….
