Making a playlist to procrastinate my bedtime to avoid a 14 mile run. Marathon training is hell, comment any hype up songs that help you run please! (the more i see everyone’s playlists/music taste on here, the more i realize how generic my music taste is. It’s humbling, thank you)

Pair it with another habit

The way I motivate myself to run is by telling myself I can ONLY do something I want/need to do if I go on a run (even a short one). For example I only listen to my favorite podcast when I’m running. Or when I need to shower, I tell myself I can only shower if I go on a quick 20min run around my neighborhood and get a little sweaty first. I only listen to my running playlist (all my favorite songs that are ~60bpm, which is my exact running pace) when I run.
Try out a bunch of different paired habits (music, podcast, just listening to your own breath and thinking) to see what works best. One size does not fit all!
Lastly, when I first started out, I could only run sans headphones/music/podcast etc. i ran silently listening to my breathing, and I think it helped me figure out what my natural pace was. When I could hear myself huffing and puffing, I’d know to slow down. It took at least a year of getting in tune w my body this way before I could listen to anything for fun. i know that kind of cancels out the recs above BUT like I said, you might want to try all of these and see what fits for you ♥️

TECHNO RUNNING

I run a lot, and I like running to techno music because I feel like I am in a video game. My friends know when I’m on “one of my little techno runs,” what is going down. Nowadays I just kinda freestyle it, might throw on a Giorgio Moroder mix, but when I started technorunning I used this podcast called PodRunner. It's like this DJ that makes a mix where the BPM changes according to how fast you should go. Some real endorphin blasters.

Not rating things

On letterboxd. Like how do you rate the Virgin Suicides or Killer of the Flower Moon?! So heavy and devastating! Fully sticking to just saying whether i like a movie or not going forward!
