One reason people dislike running so much is that they're running incorrectly. You may want to take small paces thinking it will make you less tired, but using longer paces will get it over with much quicker and also does not drain energy that much faster. Also, make sure your breathing is even and deep, even when you feel like panting. Breathing evenly and deeply will reduce discomfort caused by your diaphragm being knocked about.

Hey, I love running. I run and walk a mile after weighttraining to cool down. Here are some suggest to help you like to run: Try imagining that someone is chasing you, and you have to sprint as fast as you can one block on the street. When you get there, beat up some of his friends, and still have enough energy to run back. That's what I do, but I run on a track, and I sprint on the straight-away. I sprint to one end, imagine I'll have to beat up somebody, and sprint back and do the same. Imagine that your life depends on how fast you sprint. I do this twice. Also, when running, I change my breathing, inhale once, exhale twice. Just some variety so running doesn't become boring. Running is all mentally.

yes it is all mental... If you don't like to run there isn't anything anyone can tell you to change your mind.

 

When I was (slightly overweight and outtashape after the birth of my 3rd child)I ran every morning on my treadmill 1-2 miles. I slimmed down alot... you can really feel all the jiggles as you are running! YUK! Basically, I didn't want to run in public! .... but the treadmill can get boring (no change of scenery) but put some tunes on with headphones and thats how I got by. I would put a CD on and pace myself to the song. I would pick a new CD everyday.... slow songs walk .... mid tempo fast walk to a jog and then there would be a Billy Idol song and I would be in a full gallop! but that worked for me .... my own type of running interval training!.

 

I now like to jog along a lake or better yet on sand (hard for those of you that don't live by the shore) ... but what a workout that is! And nothing is better than running when a sprinkle of rain is falling!

 

But I still use the treadmill basically in the winter when I am least active or when I need to workout more than usual (if I gained an extra lb or 2,3,4,5

Deby you just bought a smile to my face. I had forgotten how much I loved running in light rain, on the beach, or at night. I will have to relive some of those experiences.

I know Jack isn't that the best! I hafta laugh when I see people running out of the rain looking for cover and there I am running through it with a smile on my face too

 

Actually running along a nice path with scenery or water can be great for meditating too. A chance to think ... absorb all that is around you. Sometimes you can actually hear the adrenaline pumping through your veins ... If you get lost in your thoughts you seem to forget how tired you're getting.

In the gym where I work out it is a common sight in the morning to see people on the aerobic machines (treadmills, bikes ellipticals) set up with a book holder training their mind and spirit by reading their bible while training.

 

It is kind of neat the way some verses reverberate inside your head when you hit your rhythym. Rosaries are also a common sight in the early morning.

Deby - one of the many reasons I would love to live in the countryside when I am older. So much nature around, lots of space to practice and scenery to absorb... a martial artist's haven.

 

Sai - I have never heard of that before, I can see the tie between religion giving you the strength to continue when your body is saying know, but reading the bible at the same time as physically exercising? I would be too busy wiping the sweat out of my eyes for that.
