Why do I hate running so much? I've been doing it for past three summers. Every time I will be feeling depressed doing it and sometimes i just give up all together in the middle of a run.how can I make running enjoyable?
can't
Are you fat? Running gives me a sense of freedom.
Can't.Running is fucking gay. Especially if you don't have a great friend with you.That being said, I wish I COULD run, but no, my fucking knees fucking kill me if I run more than half a kilo.
>>88990I hate it too... you're not alone. Running just isn't for everyone. 100's of great ways to get your cardio that aren't straight running.I love my mountain bike.... ride hard and it's just as good as a good run.Eliptical trainers are great for rainy days too.
>>88995one more thing. I love my heavy bag too. A heavy bag can EASILY be used for great cardio.
>>88994You're the second person I've seen refer to a kilometer as a 'kilo'. Strange.So, running is gay because you can't run? Nice logic.
There are two kinds of people.Those who run and those who shoot at those who run.I don't run.
>>89006Way to make assumptions, jackass.Running is gay, that's plain fact. It's the most retarded sport ever if you don't have anyone with you since all you can do is keep turning stupid shit inside of your head cuz otherwise you'll be bored out of your fucking mind.The fact that my knees are shit has nothing to do with running being gay. My knees went to shit long AFTER I stopped running.
FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
I never got "runner's high." I would always just be tired after running, wouldn't feel good or bad. Running just isn't for everyone. I have more fun biking on trails for 2-3 hours than running 20 minutes. Just find some cardio that you enjoy. Try and do it outdoors too, that's always more fun that being cooped up indoors.
To have more fun running:- listen to musicTo force yourself to keep running-run away from home so you're fucked/ stranded if you don't finish
This is going to sound completely insane, but I like to pretend I'm running FROM or TO something. Like pretend action-movie scenarios and shit. I know, it sounds stupid as hell, but it's oddly motivating, even if I know it's all fake.
>>89240Pretend you're running from the cops for every HIIT interval.
>>89240I imagine zombies. EXCELLENT motivation.
I have the same problem as OP. For several months, I ran on a treadmill and watched TV, never got bored at all. But my treadmill broke a few days ago, so I've had to run outside... So god damn boring.
>>89240Maybe that's it. I never know which route i'm going to take. hmm should also change my route more often
