How do I overcome boredom during a 10 mile run?

Question

Deena Kastor · Answer

Boredom really. Oh my gosh. I think it's important to have some tools in your pocket before you head out and run whether that's a to-do list. Something to troubleshoot thinking of a question to ask here on the any questions app and and let that fill your time, the more tools you have in your pocket, the more engaged you're going to be on a run so if you start to find that, you don't really have anything to think about, maybe it's important to start. Having fun with the terrain mixing up where you're running and really sightseeing along the way charging Hills picking up the pace until you hit the next tree or stoplight, have fun with it. Be engaged in the run and and in doing that it's going to keep you excited. Keep you in the sport longer and hopefully keep you boredom free.
