5 minutes into the W7R2 run, I heard a voice say - this is boring. Just stop!

But I kept going and finished the 25 minute run!

Bring on W7R3!!!

I must admit I do find the treadmill boring. Are you running to your own play list - or you could try an audio book or podcast to take your mind off the running. Better still get outside so there is scenery to watch!

Well done for getting through the week 7 runs!

I do have an interesting playlist. It keeps my mind off the running.

I think having a spicy Indian lunch didn't help either. No more of that on my running days :-)

I agree with Ully. I went back to the gym last week after a year's break and HATED it! Treadmill running just didn't give me the same pleasure I get outside. If it ever stops raining (or even if it doesn't!) try it! But if there's no alternative, then an audio book sounds a good idea. I might try that myself if there's a next time.

brilliant!

Well done! I often have a low point about 5 minutes in. I put it down to not having found my pace for that run yet!

Not what you're looking for?
