Hoping you all have a great new year lots of miles and heavy lifts!

How are you making running enjoyable? I find it so boring that it is hard to maintain it, although I know it is very good for my health. Especially running in nature and getting fresh air from it. Any tips that worked for you?

I personally just do it, even when I don’t want to.
But I learned to slow down and not worry about pace and I like to listen to audio books and podcast for entertainment, or it’s a way I digest my thoughts and emotions. Run clubs are an awesome way to help as well running with people definitely makes it go faster and suck less!

There is a run club in the area I live that run during times that I am free. But have a requirement of 10K in 45 minutes or less to join. I am not that good and find it too boring to get good.

That sucks
Ours is definitely more enclusive and has a wide variety of runners!
Some of these big cities ones are huge and lots of young people! I usually run at 5am with my dog!

Hello anyone have like actual benefits of 15k steps daily? Currently following this powerlifter huntpowerlifting and swears on the great benefits of 15k steps daily.

Will 15k steps is really helpful or would like zone 2 30-60min daily better?

If you can do that amount of cardio a day you don’t need to worry about steps , especially if you bike a bit for some cardio, it’s not steps but you are still doing cardio.

How many steps do you get in 60 minutes of Z2 cardio? It's gotta be up there.

I like Z2 for breathing heavy for more than a few minutes, and Z2/3 for sweating if it's not cold outside. Think there might be some benefits to those. Or maybe just feelz & sleep quality.

Old thread but I'm pissed. Pulled my left hammy on my morning run, just cruising speed. Of course it's leg day plus I'm on cycle. Puts a halt on my progress for now. Stupid ass legs.

Cool a running thread. Where my running comrades at who use Strava to log distance and times?


Here's my best time from this morning. Honestly, at my age, I don't think I'll be beating 7 miles in 48 minutes. This was pretty damn fast for me. I know guys who weigh less than me can run much faster, but I like having some size, and still being able to run well.

Nice comfortable 7 mile run.

I have a few trails that are 6 miles each and I usually make it home in about an hour

I use nothing to track distance and times

Raw dog, no headphones or music or anything
