How do you make running fun?

Question

Well in gym class, all we do is run laps. I find running really boring, and tiring if that's all I'm focusing on. If you guys have any ideas of what would make running fun, that would be appreciated VERY much!!

Btw, we're not allowed to listen to music @ school when we run... :\

Thanks :)

Answer 1

Yikes, no music sucks!  If you are confined to doing laps, I would  take a watch and time yourself.  You can try to "split" your laps (do each one faster than the last).  Every day try to beat your previous days time.  You won't be able to beat them every day (nobody can consistently), but set goals every week.  Good luck!

Answer 2

Do you have any friends in that class?? talk to them thats what i do

Answer 3

Listen to your ipod.  Try to run with some of your friends

Answer 4

run with friends it is the only thing keeping me going

Answer 5

well for some people it's just fun, bust it varies between people. Some people like it and some people hate it. I, for one hand, love running. I just like improving my time and always try to improve my techniques, like breathing Right, taking long, strides, and starting, so i just love it.

Answer 8

if you're not allowed to listen to music, it's kind of hard to make running fun.  Try thinking of fast music in your head.  Then people will think you're insane, and you'll get a good workout too!  Double bonus!

Answer 9

I love to run so its not boring to me but i think that if you could talk to someone or just think about something else and maybe sing a song in your head or something the time might go by faster.
