    Run.

    It absolutley sucks at the time and can be a bit demoralising depending on your climate, but it’s nice to catch up on some podcasts or albums when it’s just you vs the stopwatch and nobody else.

    It feels great when you’re done too - even if you’ve got a list of things to do as long as your arm, it feels good that you’ve ticked something off and it’s done you some good too.

    Without getting too gatekeeper-y either, I don’t mean run in it’s purest sense - I mean getting out there putting one foot in front of the other with the heart rate up - jogging, sprinting, whatever. I’m a 10min/mile goon - I ain’t setting the world on fire with that pace but it makes me feel like I’ve put a shift in after six and a quarter miles.

      Dude I like running too but I can’t for the life of me run on a treadmill or circular track or anything repetitive like that. It has to be some kind of trail. But the summers here suuuuuuuuuuucccckkkkkk it’s so fucking hot I can’t imagine running at all!
