How do you guys run, its so boring
« on: March 26, 2026, 02:39:27 PM »
I want to get fitter as gym cardio dull but so is road running.
So fucking boring.
A marathon runner i know suggested day dreaming, he regular dreams he's a hero in the star wars universe when running and goes on all sorts of adventures.
Sorry but I can't do that.
Any suggestions to liven it up

Cardio sucks.

Up the volume in your weight workouts.

Rather get on a bike and ride on some nature trails. Much easier on the joints and a better quad workout as well.

Your homosexual friend has quite an imagination. Runners speak of "runner's high" so this is probably what he is referencing.

I ran briefly when I was a teen and I just listened to eye of tiger on loop and thought about running through the street like Rocky. Helped me zone out, but never really got that runners high.

Apologies Darren, but it does now sound like you might be the homosexual. Either way I recommend this for you

Run naked around your neighborhood.  Things are sure to motivate you to get your time in.

Running hurts my back and knees. I ride a peleton now but the best cardio I ever did was swimming a mile 2-3 times a week. I had a little swim-P3 player with music and just pumped it out and had no joint issues.

I totally know the feeling.
I too couldn’t get in to that high, running just feels awkward!

But I still try to little of it. Smaller distances with higher effort, or if you have a track or similar then HIIT type running, hill sprints or stair running.

To me these are all almost ” red line ” cardio. But I think its ok since there isn’t much of it and then I do less streneous cardio in the gym watching asses 😊

Just listen to your foot steps, your breathing and flow in thoughtless awareness.

During Covid when everyone was out clapping for the NHS on their doorsteps I used to run down the street waving to everyone recreating me finishing the London Marathon...

Cycling is good as you can vary the intensity easily, i ran for many years & jumped rope a lot..
Jumping rope is a great warm up & hits my calves well

Get a trike bike and ride around with your 5 year old son chasing you to make you go faster.

You can watch a movie while on the treadmill. Running is over rated anyway. Do the stairmaster or rowing machine. Much better than running.
