Stephen England, 40, is really dedicated to the fitness lifestyle. England has run 90 marathons and ultramarathons so far. When the Boston marathon got postponed to September 14, owing to the ban on gatherings to contain the Coronavirus, he came up with an inspiring solution to honour his commitment. He jogged on the rooftop of his building, literally running in circles and achieving the 42 km target, while sticking to social distancing guidelines.

The aid station with water bottles and a finisher's medal

The historic race has been held every year since 1897 without fail. "The Boston Marathon is a huge part of my life," he told the New York Post. "I've done it seven times and was there during the 2013 bombing. So, as soon as it got postponed, I knew I had to do something to honour Marathon Monday," added the marathon enthusiast.

England started running at 6 am on Monday morning. He even set up a makeshift aid station on a table, as is customary, with water bottles, energy gels and a finisher's medal. He took 5 hours, 29 minutes and 37 seconds to finish the marathon, a far cry from his best Boston Marathon time of 2 hours and 45 minutes. If there is one thing his sprinting spree has taught us, it's that human tenacity knows no bounds, no matter how tough times get.

An Indonesian politician quarantined citizens in 'haunted houses' for violating social distancing norms

Representational picture

Tired of people not adhering to self-quarantine guidelines, a politician from Indonesia's Sragen regency decided to lock rule breakers in abandoned houses believed by the locals to be haunted, to set an example and discourage others from following suit. Sragen saw a lot of people entering its territory, as major cities are under lockdown. "If they disobey self-isolation orders, several villages have asked for my permission to quarantine them in abandoned elementary schools or houses. I gave my permission. If need be, they should be locked inside—in a haunted house if necessary. But we'd still feed them and monitor them," said Kusdinar Untung Yuni Sukowati, the head of the regency, to Coconuts Jakarta. Sepat village picked a long-abandoned house and turned it into a quarantine centre for three people.
