Just a general thread about running. How’s your running going? What are you training for? Did you get new shoes? Sporting an injury etc.

    What do you guys do on your +2h long runs to not get bored? I listen to podcasts and stuff, but I still always get bored as hell after about 1h of running.

      I’m probably an outlier. Nothing at all. My brain is busy mapping out the route ahead of me. Tracking pace, hr, reminding myself when it gets hard that I’ve done it before.

      Taking in the environment: cars, other people, wildlife, trees, the sky, etc.

      Mulling over the previous days events, planning the next day, theres a bunch of stuff that occupies my mind.

      I did find a good podcast to listen to recently and so have given that a go.
