4. Are you ready for another confinement?
Squat with Joe Wicks. Online contests. The elusive search for a bag of yeast flour. It seems like yesterday that the UK was plunged into a national lockdown. Prime Minister Boris Johnson says he does not want another total lockdown, but national measures may need to be tightened and, in many areas, local closures already exist. During the shutdown, the BBC spoke with people in different situations to find out how they were dealing with life in a pandemic. So what did they learn?

5. The London Marathon is coming: months late and mainly out of London
When the annual London Marathon kicks off this Sunday, October 4, it will feel like a different world than previous editions of the race. The coronavirus lockdown in the UK forced the April race to be delayed for six months, and only a handful of runners, all elite, will take part in the official tour around St James’s Park in central London. The other 45,000 participants will run or walk a marathon (26.2 miles, or 42 km) at a time and place of their choosing on Sunday, recording their progress in an app. These are some of their stories.
