I am once again reminded that a fascist worked out today and I - in fact - did not. With gyms being closed due to Covid and temperatures dropping to discourage jogging, what is a good way to get fit?

    Slow and steady is way better than going hard (for a whole bunch of other reasons too), and don't increase distance by more than 10% per week as a rule of thumb

    Try and run on softer surfaces if possible (grass/dirt are ideal, even bitumen isn't toooo bad, concrete is brutal)

    You might want to try getting better/newer shoes if you can afford them, it does make a real difference having shoes that aren't worn out

      Running on a different surface sounds interesting, I'll definitely have to see the difference there. Fortunately I've got new shoes, just been too depressed to even break them in. Thanks for the advice!
