Hate running, or even the idea of running? Me too, until I started hacking it

CNN — I found another person who hates running, and I’m not surprised. “I find it tedious and boring, and I feel like I’m failing at it all the time because I’m so slow and out of breath.” That’s how my colleague Madeline Holcombe articulated how it’s going as she’s started to take up running. Madeline’s assessment mirrors how I felt when I started running 20 years ago, and how many others feel, too. Later incarnations, when I lived in Brooklyn, evolved into the use of music apps that made run mixes at various tempos and a useful way to find more songs for my personal running collection. If you run with others and you feel you’re holding them back, find other running buddies, at least initially.
