Do You Enjoy Running?

[mariostewart62]

I never thought I would say this, but I've actually taken up running as a hobby. You want to know the weird thing? I actually enjoy it!

Do you and how?

Although my knees prevent me the pleasure of running may I suggest you have become a drug addict.
Three main pleasure drugs are released during exercise to give you pleasure and euphoria to varying degrees. Dopamine, serotonin and endorphins. Luckily, none of these is illegal and all are produced naturally by the body.
Enjoy your running. It can only do you good.

Can't say I've ever enjoyed running. It was something to endure at school, I tried jogging for a very very short while whilst at Uni, both experiences painful. I did cope with the treadmill at the gym when I used to go. But it's all rather masochistic.

Running is the only exercise I've ever enjoyed, unfortunately it buggered my knees up so I can't do it anymore :(

No I dont, I keep fit by doing manual tasks, it hasn't let me down yet.

Wife and I have a saying, "You never see a smiling jogger." When we mention this to others, they think about it, and end up agreeing!

Like Rocky...used to run with a competitive club but had to give up...told by doc ..keep this up and you'll need new knees before you're 30 !

No, running's not for me. With short legs, long body and slightly overweight I look like an elephant on the rampage.

Now, give me a bicycle and I'll pedal for miles every day. Normally pedal about 10-15 miles a day and go to the gym 3 times a week. Kinder on my hip and knee joints as well.

Are you being chased by a dog? Just wondered why you had put this in Animals and Nature.......

I can`t think of anything worse.

I never liked running. Cycling provides all the health benefits of running without the stress on the joints.

I have enough trouble walking,let alone running.
