Maybe that's what we see happening here?

Re: Joggers
Yes, you'd better watch it. I'm an old bloke cyclist out to upset anyone I can.
Seriously though, I haven't noticed an increase of joggers, horse riders or cyclists because I haven't been anywhere to see any since the lockdown.I tried cycling but found it impossible to pass by people at a distance of two metres, what with walkers being on the footpaths and me being on the road possibly only a few feet away.
I think the only way to avoid droplet transmission is to stay at home away from everyone. No point in being the fittest person in the graveyard (or crematorium).
