I hate hate hate strength training. I understand it will make me a better runner (blah, blah, blah), but it is the antitheses of running.
Running relaxes me. Strengthening only annoys me.
Running makes me feel better. Strengthening makes me hurt not in a good way.
Running makes me feel powerful (especially on a long run). Strengthening makes me realize how weak I am.
Running lets my mind wander in a great way. Strengthening bores me.
And with all of that said, I will spend the summer doing pushups, sit ups, squats, lifting, etc., and I will be miserable, but if it will make me a better runner, I will make the sacrifice. Sigh.
Love this. Strength training isn't my favorite either. For me I think it's because I've always felt like exercising is PLAY. Running, biking, swimming, jump rope. But strength training is WORK. Like eating your vegetables as a kid before you could have dessert, it's good for you. Fine, whatever, I'll do it. 😂🤣😭💪
