I was a sprinter, not a distance runner. I used to object to the long runs a coach wanted us to put in after cricket training. I pointed out I'd been bowling off a long run-up for an hour to give batsmen a workout in the nets. They'd go off to the slips machine after their stint but I'd keep running in for the next man. I pointed out I'd done more running than anyone at training and should be excused from jogging laps. It didn't work!

God damn. I think I finished May with 0.2k.

I've basically used lockdown to convert what would ordinarily be my commuting time into extra sleep/exercise time over the last couple of months.The benefits of not having any kids oflr real responsibilities I guess. Generally do about 3.5k every day, though some days I just cbf. Don't do it particularly fast or anything (takes me about 19 mins), but has definitely made a difference.

Haha I don't enjoy it especially tbh, but I always feel so much better having done it. The first 1.5 is always the worst, but I think that's partially because it's mostly uphill on the route I do

I don’t enjoy it at all either at the moment, and I don’t get an especially strong glow afterwards either. But I do really look forward to running, for some reason. It’s kind of like watching United, every time I’m done my brain immediately forgets that it’s mostly just very painful.

Haha, this so much. Every time I go out, I end up thinking "Was it always this unpleasant?"

Running (and exercise in general) is one of those unpleasant things you have to trick your mind into pretending to like because the long term rewards make it worth it. Personally, I find myself to be in a much better mental space when I'm getting decent exercise on a regular basis.

My latest is similar enough, 2.84k in 15:07. Sure get on Strava and start logging it. I find it helps.

i actually really enjoy running. But that's only if I can run through my neighborhood. I hate running tracks, I need the constantly changing scenery and the sense of exploration and adventure.
The problem is, in HK, the streets are packed full of people, so the only time it's nice to head out is late at night - after 11pm on a weeknight, after midnight on a weekend. It's really nice at that time. it's more peaceful, less pollution, less people in your way or watching you run, no sun burning down on you. Music in your ears. I enjoy it immensely.

I used to enjoy running in the park back in the day. Use an elliptical now when the kids and work permit.
Weather here in the great white north is also not conducive to outdoor running for about 6 months of the year, but the other 6 months are just gorgeous.
It helps that I live right on the top of the hill that overlooks the city and one gets beautiful views of the city, a great green expanse, and Lake Ontario. The weather is beautiful and walking is such a pleasure. Would love to start running again but looks like its getting harder with my knees.
