How do you keep your running interesting?

Question

your input appreciated!! :)

Answer 1

i think the fact that we're constantly improving is very interesting. each week there's new times to compare to old ones, we constantly strive to get better.

i am always anxious before a race, but it's a nervous good. even knowing that i'm going to be in a lot of pain, the feeling that you get when you finish, nothing compares.

but to answer your question on how to keep it interesting, i go on runs in different places, change up my courses, it's fun exploring. run with friends also, friends who are slightly better than you so they can push you.

i hope this helps!

Answer 2

well...wat makes running so fun for me is knowing what time i'll get and trying to improve every chance i get and knowing the best  techniques for running like how to breathe, how to take ur steps, ect. Everything is interesting for me. Like probably on a hot day and ur track coach wants u to run 1 or 2 miles that day, ur probably lik, "God, i don't want to run in this heat," but u feel so good after u run. U get better and better each week, its amazing
