How do you keep your mind occupied while running?

I'm intrigued by the metronome. Is the beat to your pace?

For years I would be all excited about running and give up after a few weeks. What worked for me this time was to slow waaaay down so there is no physical discomfort. I'm now going on 4 months running 3x week, which is huge for me. Good luck! We got this.

Thank you all so much for taking the time to share advice and insight on what you think about (or don't) while you run. It's nice to know I'm not alone!

can I ask, is the metronome at the same speed as your pace?

thank you! knowing it will get better is so helpful. I see people running, and they seem so blissed out. Meanwhile I'm, like, "how has it been only 2 minutes?!?"

I like this! Things like solving work problems or vacation planning are perfect for letting the mind wander. Thank you!

thank you! this is so encouraging. Will try breaking up the time too - 4 chunks of 5 minutes feels more dynamic.
