Outdoor Runners & Joggers
Exercising runners and joggers should be socially distanced by a minimum of 6m. 2m is inadequate due to the distance their exhalations travel. As most pavements are not wide enough to allow this, runners and joggers should be requested to exercise from 8pm to 8am. Walkers would be allowed to exercise between 8am and 8pm.
Why the contribution is important
It would assist with the prevention of virus transmission. It would also allow more people to walk to/ from work safely.

We need to encourage active travel as much as possible
Incidentally 6m would be entirely unworkable unless whole streets were closed to all activity but jogging or cycling. This daftness would be tantamount to a ban on exercise.

Whats to do , I don’t think time frames would work, some highway code for walkers, joggers and cyclist would help if given publicity . There are however some genuine safety concerns . as I found to the cost of a near miss as a jogger ran between me and my wife, never heard him coming , hearing aids a bit selective and I wouldn’t bounce back from a fall these days !
