Just done an hour at the Gym in a small Oxfordshire market town. I was the only one in the place, it was like a morgue. Sports hall empty one squash court being used and two people in the pool.
Ironicaly in the car park were a pair of Saxos and an old Nova all the occupants scoffing MaccyD's. Nearest one is 8 miles away.
Just seems a bit sad really, or am I being smug? 😉
So.....
You were the only person silly enough to pay to exercise indoors?
The outdoors, it's free....
i was out in the woods riding, there were loads there....
Good point but I was riding yesterday.
Yup, loads out riding, walking today.
Just seems a bit sad really, or am I being a mug?
fixed it for you
Running Thursday Cwmcarn yesterday, road ride today. don't do gyms, they're full of smug people... 😉

Yes, it sounds that way. Maybe you could try to make some friends, then you don't have to spend Sundays alone?
30 of us out today, worse than the red sock brigade 😯
But I do know what you mean although it makes me feel good knowing that I've managed to do something today 60% (at least) of the population can't or won't do.
i see loads of people running, cycling etc, but then i don't go to gyms. where my experience has been that I see loads of people standing chatting. I've really noticed more people being active outdoors in the last few years.
Went a ride from Stafford to Gnosall this morning along an old rail track that has been resurfaced for pleasure cycling, trekking & and walking etc.. thought it would be kinda quiete, how wrong I was.. lots of people out excercising.. taking the air etc..
I've just run at 10km in sub 40 minutes 🙂 there weren't many people out in Glasgow green. Maybe because they had the Glasgow run this morning and they are all still tired.
I love cycling past my local gym and looking at them all on their cycle/running machines looking like zombies!
Brain dead the lot of them!
😉
I hate riding on the road and don't always have time to get myself to trails so go to the gym sometimes, it's just easier!
Ridin's free....
Just costs a fortune to keep the bike's running!!!!
