Seriously Cardiff, which Castle St would you prefer? There's only one day left so don't just think about it, fill in the survey. It only takes a couple of minutes! wh1.snapsurveys.com/s.asp?k=…

Things you can do in Wales before local/low risk, organised outdoors sports can resume 🤔 - get a haircut - visit non essential retail - go on holiday in Wales - go to a theme park or funfair - get drunk in a pub garden - travel to a pub/gym in England Does not make sense. – at Cardiff, Wales

Endurance athletes, to get a better picture of the relationships among resting HR, maximal HR, training status, & age, I have made a very short questionnaire. I bet most of you can complete it in less than the time it takes for your heart to beat 60 times forms.gle/8wVumKy85PWYMgE18

If you have a stressful day at work, what do you do? Did you know exercise is a really effective way to process exposure to trauma. So, the next time you have a difficult day at work, try exercising when you get home. Your mental health matters 💙 #NHS #999family

How can we protect the protectors? Why not join the conversation to find out what the police services are doing to promote sport, health and wellbeing for our men and women in blue. teampolice.uk/sport-is-not-t…

Hi @WelshGovernment @CardiffCouncil @WelshCycling - do Cardiff lockdown rules now mean cycling for exercise cannot take place outside county boundaries? This is stricter than during the national lockdown when riding distances within your ability (1/3)

Rounding off 120.6 miles of running and cycling this week with 26 x 26 skipping rope jumps for the #TwoPointSixChallenge. Donating to @MindCharity as mental health support is more important than ever during this crisis.

Let’s use the term “physical distancing”, rather than “social distancing.” At this time when we need to be physically apart, we need more than ever, to focus on social connection, not social distance.

Cyclists aren’t the ‘scourge of the streets’. They are mothers, fathers, grandparents and children all doing their bit to make Britain a healthier, greener and more liveable place. Share this video from @Chris_Boardman to help us make our message loud and clear to @channel5_tv
