What do you think of when you're running?

I imagine a version of myself 10 years from now, running in front of me. He's buff as fuck, banging Stacey's mom every night, has his life sorted and is generally living a wholesome life. This motivates me to not quit, because if I do he'll get further and further away.

One day I will surpass him.

jesus thats motivational

Meditate. Stay in the moment as best you can. Notice all the trees around you. Note cars passing. Come back to self.

>on a treadmill

>staring at an old man's ass as you run

That's fucking gay.

I went for a run tonight, here's a summary of my thoughts:

Lap 1: Ok, I'm doing well
Lap 2: Why is that guy parking the van there
Lap 3: He's still there, is he on the phone?
Lap 4: Oh shit, he's getting out of the van, maybe he's going to take a piss?
Lap 5: Ok, that's weird he got in but stayed there
Lap 6, mid-way: Fuck, I don't want to die today, I'm gonna re-route
Lap 6, 3/4 in: So now he finally moved? WTF?!? better go home

...

I like to think that someone is chasing me and trying to kill me.

This. Sometimes I just play videos of movie duel scenes and listen to the sound of the men fighting. Gets me pumped

I think and focus on staying in my HR range I set for the run. I focus on technique. I focus on cadence. I take in the views (I live in Boston). I look at cute butts I pass by.

I stay in the moment when I run.

I chant

>KILL, KILL, KILL, KILL

over and over as I run. Imagining how fucking scary that would be for the enemy army as they hear it coming over the horizon.

>wake me up

IF I CANNOT DO 2 MORE MILES

THEN I MUST DO 50 SETS OF SPRINTS

I focus on how good my plug feels every time I make a stride while running.

a daydream unlikely situations and what I would do in them
I don't listen to music, might start though

What music?

Making sure that I do t run out of breath in the ethnic areas.
Gotta go faster than the Trayvons.

>Grow, grow, grow

My breathing

this
and this. Crush gives motivation.
>inb4 still lifting for grils

I think about what it was like to run in the 90s.

nothing at all, just listening to a podcast

caving the heads of liberals and muslims and black people.

GOTTA GO FAST

>What do you think of when you're running?

What porn video am
I going to fap to when I get home.

>Fuck fuck fuck I'm tired
>Fuck fuck fuck I've only done 4 mins
>Fuck fuck fuck is this a heart attack
>Fuck it. I'll just go OHP.

Pretty much it. I've quite literally never done more than 10 mins of continuous cardio. Seeing people run for lile the entire 90 mins I'm in the gym is legit more impressive than a 5 plate diddly.

Murakami reference

My first love

I think about how handsome I am. And then I realize life is so short and we are not permanent

underrated

>running on a treadmill

Imagine how fucking scary that is for women out for a late night jog as you come autistically screaming KILL round the corner

>its so cold I need to wear a jacket, but not so cold that I can wear these very skinny pants that show off my butt.

Nothing
become one with eternal void
run
push limit

eurobeat

oh fuck

that’s good

I flip-flop between concentrating on music and contemplating philosophy (especially Plato, his Forms etc.)

Its his own ass, just a masturbation. No homo.

Nothing. After a while I space out and just run.

>MUH SHIN SPLINTS

this

Something like this

WW1

Top kek

Slaying the dragon.

running

I never run so I won't have to deal with my depressing thoughts

running is for soyboys

RUNNING AROUND AT THE SPEED OF SOUND

Ant?

My dick desu. It distracts me, the swang of my balls.

>30 more minutes, jesus this is boring
>29 more minutes oh fuck only one minutes passed? Christ
>28 minutes alright i'm on 1/15th
>27 minutes ok now i'm on 10%
>26 minutes now i'm almost on 1/6th. Fuck i'm not even on 1/6th
>25 minutes is usually where the overwhelming mindnumbing boredom starts to set in
>24 minutes oh great i'm on 20% now
>23 minutes is usualy where my breath sometimes starts to skip a bit because my nose is always clogged and it's fucking annoying
>22 minutes i fucking hate running
>21 minutes almost on one third
>20 minutes 1 third finally, next milestone is halfway there
>19 minutes ahurrrr
>18 minutes 3 minutes left till halfway there
>17 minutes keep watching your step, don't do heel strikes
>16 minutes 1 minute till halfway there
>15 minutes halfway there, finally
>14 minutes this is starting to get really miserable
>13 minutes I usually put some Ministry on to keep my mind at bay (in my head, that is)
>12 minutes i hate running so much
>11 minutes almost at 2/3ds
>10 minutes 2/3ds finally
>9 minutes great just 3 times 3 minutes, easy enough
>8 minutes i hate running
>7 minutes past 75% and i'm starting to feel even more miserable
>6 minutes 80%, i'm starting to pant and have to consciously check my form now. Don't tighten my shoulders, keep walking upright, don't bounce too much.
>5 minutes 5/6th just 5 more fucking minutes
>4 minutes just four more minutes, start doing some mathematics in my head to keep myself occupied
>3 minutes 90% there, keep it up motherfucker
>2 minutes imagine myself beating up hippies and commie faggots to give me an adrenalin boost at the end
>1 minute still imagine curbstomping commies
>done

I don't know why i run desu, i really hate it.

Whatever podcast or audio book I'm listening to at that time

It's too snowy and slippery and cold to run outside, so I just run on a treadmill and try to run a 5k as fast as humanly possible because running on a treadmill is boring as fuck and I can't stop myself from looking at the clock.
I listen to upbeat music from anime. I try to get in the zone.

"this fucking sucks"

yeah it really does

I used to listen to podcasts but I dont want my mind to be overly influenced by joe rogan or BBC radio intellectually complacent globalist shit.

I just think of anything. Whenever I go without stimulation from the internet I am always surprised and impressed that I dont die of immediate boredom. Every time

be be benis,
be be benis

>I know everything about fitness apparel also what are compression tights
BRAIN GENOIUS HAS LOGGED ON

how much it hurts, my form, and when it will be over, then random stuff about life and then...BOOM! It's over!

For sprints I only think about form
For long-distance runs I think about conversations i had, plans, etc.

Nice life

Roastie detected.

>GOTTA GO FAST!!!

when i was in highschool i would think about my gf and compose shitty poetry in my head about how much i loved her

wow that was embarrassing to type out

now i mostly think about my form and breathing

>god I wish I wasn't running right now

Pretty much this

precisely

Nothing actually. I seem to go into some meditative trance except during speed drills.

Why are you running then? Why not do some other cardio like rowing or cycling?

Cheaper and doesn't require a team, special venue, or equipment.

>lose weight
>get well under 200lbs
>no more shin splints

really makes you think

Gay shit, explicitly. I run with a rager

I THINK THAT SOMEONE IS TRYING TO KILL ME!!!

running through no mans land in europe is what goes through my head somtimes

Rowing on an erg is way way more boring than running
