I've never done super long runs (anything over 20 miles) but I just find it too boring. I can listen to a podcast or something but unless I'm running in a new area its just moving kinda slowly through spaces I've already seen.
I've switched to biking now which tends to help my restless mind much more. I'm moving faster, I have to lock in more because when I'm going 15 mph or higher I cant zone out like I do when I'm running, and I can see more/new places if I want to.
- sz4kerto 4y agoHuberman talks about this in his podcast - he says that "don't stack dopamine". In this context - try to run without podcasts, then you'll enjoy more running and podcasts too.
- SketchySeaBeast 4y agoHuberman must be one of those guys who experience the runner's high - I can't say I ever have, so podcasts and running is about getting back to normal rather than multiplying the happy.
- AlwaysRock 4y agoYeah... If I cant listen to a podcast while I run then I'm not going to run. It's not a thing I love doing. If I can listen to a podcast at the same time I feel like I'm doing something I don't like doing but its okay because I get to listen to a podcast.
