Alright. I couldn't really bring myself to put this in a topic where people liked running. One of my friends used to say that running was masochistic. I mean you run until it hurts....on purpose. Don't get me wrong...I see the point. Just wanted to throw this out there and see what people had to say about the idea.

i honestly never get "pains" or "torture" myself with running to find pleasure ... the only time i recall hurting was when i got an injury ... and when i tried to run 10 miles a day with skimpy practices for the prior 4 months ...

for me, it's all mental, it's not a physical sport ... my body can easily run a half marathon or even a full marathon ... but if my mind's not in THE ZONE, then i can't ...

I hate running - I am not any good at it, I wish I was but I'm not I can just about jog but I think that is due to my size. I wish I could say that I could run and well to tell you the truth I probably could do it if my life depended on it

But for now I will stick to my fast walking

i like running , the problem is that i can not run for too long; i know it might be painfully but the secret is to focus your mind, is more of a mental effort than a physical one. I am sure that however nobody runs till it became physically injured, this does not make any sense to me.

i love running too but i get problem in my breathing if i continue running for long time. dont know why, may be because i smoke and thats the only reason.

I like running.Especially when i feel bad i go for running.I`m an overweighted man so when i run for too long i feel very exhausted.I was planning to enter military school but i lost the exams because of this.
