This Englishman Is Running to His Favorite Pubs Every Day Until Lockdown Is Lifted

Ollie Ripley joined TikTok as ThePubRunner with a purpose: to go on a run to his favorite pubs every day until they reopen. The U.K., as you know, is on lockdown, with restaurants not permitted to open until at least April, so there's not much else to do besides ~work on your fitness~ anyway. Ollie's videos are very cheeky, with the math teacher acting shocked by the fact that the pub is still closed every time, but his runs have garnered him 13,500 followers, and he's turned his daily jogs into a fundraiser for mental health organization Mind; sometimes, his 64-year-old father even joins him!
