I HATE RUNNING!!

How much of this can you identify with?? - maybe around 50% for me

Love it - he's so right! Not that I'm anywhere near the distances he runs. Very rare to actually enjoy a run while it's happening, but afterwards the feeling is so great.

No, not really. I actually enjoy the running now but if I was covering the kind of grueling distances he does, I might not enjoy it either

I think the article is brilliant! I laughed out loud I identify with about 95% of it! Thanks for the link!

Haha! I love every aspect of running even the painful yucky bits, but then I'm not running his distances. But I love his humour 😂

Love it! Don't really identify with much but love it all the same.

Yup I get this. I really enjoyed my run on Wednesday though, from start to finish. No idea why. Today was b****y awful! Whatevs. I always feel FABULOUS when I get home though, without fail.

I can only dream of running his kind of distances but I know where he's coming from regards how he feels about running. I like the idea of going for a run, I always think this might be the run that I will find easier and transform from tortoise to hare. And I do enjoy it...for at least 30 seconds. Then I start to struggle, wonder why I'm doing it and start to hate it, right until near the end, when all of a sudden I love that I've managed to do it! And all the rest of the day, I love it...until the next time!

I quite often think in the first ten minutes why am I doing this. Yesterday picking up milk on the way back from my run I realised I stank! I agree that there is often medative quality to it. I know if I am down or had a bad day a run will make me feel better or exercise in general. I will never be an ultra runner like this guy though I am finding myself doing longer distances then 3 miles quite satisfying between 8 and 10.

I hate not running esp when I'm down with a chesty cold like I am atm I can feel my fitness slipping away

Thank you. I laughed til I cried. Agree with almost every word
