This is what the 'ultimate lockdown day' looks like and it's exhausting

Lockdown has changed our lives in more ways than one, but if you asked me what my "ultimate lockdown day" looked like it would probably involve Netflix, two-minute noodles and not getting out of my PJs.

London man Will Brimson had a very different idea when it came to his own "ultimate lockdown day".

He, like thousands of other Brits, was planning to run in the annual London Marathon this weekend to raise money for important charitable causes.

Of course, the coronavirus pandemic and subsequent lockdowns put an end to those plans, but Brimson was determined to still do his part and raise some change for the Teenage Cancer Trust.

So he challenged himself to do the "ultimate lockdown day" by completing every isolation trend in just 24 hours, from baking sourdough to getting active while social distancing.

Oh, and he shaved his head too – because who isn't these days?

"With lockdown, a lot of people have taken up new hobbies or they're trying to do new things, so we thought this would be relevant," he told the Mirror.

"Lockdown is the challenge that everybody has at the moment, everyone is in the same situation. It seemed like a nice opportunity to do something around the day the marathon would have happened."

Each hour he tried a different isolation activity, including yoga, gardening and getting handy in the kitchen.

He also paid tribute to the London marathon by running 2.6 miles (roughly 4km) at the start of each hour, so by the end of the day he'd run the equivalent of a half marathon.

By the end of the day he'd run more than 21kms and admitted it was a punishing endeavour, largely because he was constantly stopping and starting, so his body had to warm up again every time he kicked off.

Luckily, he had some uber-chill isolation activities to cool down with throughout the day, including baking sourdough bread, which everyone and their dog seems to have tried their hand at lately.

Before his "ultimate lockdown day" challenge, Brimson set a goal of raising £2,000 ($3,800 AUD) for the Teenage Cancer Trust, and he's already surpassed that goal by almost $200.

Now he plans to continue fundraising in the leadup to October, when he plans to run in the Royal parks Half Marathon, if it can go ahead by then.
