Does anyone else absolutely hate jogging but still do it?

Jogging is the one thing that I absolutely dread but force myself to do it. I can't even enjoy my off days because I know that the next day I'll have to go and do it. :(

My problem is that I have to be able to run 1.5 miles in eleven minutes so I pretty much have to run. Normally I do my cardio in other ways.

eh, I don't mind it

I break up my cardio by running, eliptical, stairmaster (pure eval), etc...

Nope, I love it! Can't get enough of it. If this world was perfect, I would eat, sleep, play guitar and run 20 miles a day and go fishing in my spare time. Now, swimming on the other hand. I probably hate swimming at least as much as you hate jogging, but I do it every now and then. I want to do some triathlons in the next few years so I'll be in your position then.

I'm pretty much the exact same way. I like exercising but I absolutely hate jogging/running.

What are you training for?

Wow, I *wish* that I could enjoy it as much as you do. I think that when I get an MP3 player and when I get better at it I might enjoy it a little more. But even so, I doubt I'll ever *enjoy* it.

I do, but it is the best cardio workout in terms of pure energy output.

I've been running for a few years and I still dont like it. In fact I hate it.

But like it has been said before, i just force myself to do it. Probably the best cardio you can get.
