Strava’s 2020 report showed that 55% of all runners on the app hit a personal best, suggesting that people are running more regularly than before. Similarly, a RunRepeat survey from November 2020 found that two-thirds of all gym users chose not to return to their gyms. While some that stayed away might have done so because they don’t work out anymore, it’s also fair to assume that a solid amount of those people are pounding the pavement instead.
The Center for Disease Control even lists running as one of the best ways to cope with the pandemic, alongside meditating, eating well, and making sure you get plenty of sleep.
