How do you make running on a treadmill interesting and fun?
I go on the treadmill at the gym as it is the only damn piece of equipment that can make me fitter and run faster and longer as well as breathe easier. However the damn thing is as boring as hell, even with the tv or radio on. Any ideas on making it more tolerable?
Make your own personal song mix that will keep you moving on your iPod. Just make sure you have a special headset that won’t fall off when running.
ETA: Gabe has a good point. In the gym on the row of treadmills, sometimes I’d get a better run when I’d pretend I was in a race or competition with the runners next to me (just pretending, really to challenge myself a little further).
And yeah, it may help to be next to someone you find attractive for motivation (or more distracting, embarrassing to be sweating, etc., depending how you take it). Or to be next to someone like you (for you – maybe another guy) to pretend to battle it out.
