Down at the beach again for the weekend, so a good sea-fresh run this morning with the doggo. Consistently keeping a 5min/km pace now and starting to feel stronger too.
Coolie x groodle.... Tired after his run
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 listen to music. Sometimes I use Spotify's auto-generated playlists and find new things. I was also into the "Zombies, Run!" app for quite a while which is a zombie apocalypse story that unfolds as you run, and you get to listen to music in between story clips.
Haven't made it past an hour yet...
Isn't running supposed to be really bad for your knees?
Not at all, unless you have poor running form. Many people are able to run just fine for their entire lives, even running marathons in their 70s and 80s.
Wow it's one of those things I was always told as a kid, thinking it was real
