At one point I’d cancel runs if my AirPods weren’t charged; I couldn’t bear the thought of running without music. Now all runs are without music and the meditative affects don’t surprise me. It’s quite astonishing how running makes you think and what you notice. Obviously there are many factor to take into account and YMMV, but this has been my experience. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] dmtalon@infosec.pub 1 point 6 months ago* while i do typically run with headphones in, it is wild all of the random subjects of thoughts that come into mind while running. Unfortunately, most of the ideas or things I want to follow up on I forget by the time I get back. Then pick it back up going "oh crap I wanted to do xyz when I got back last run..." Rinse and repeat :) permalink fedilink source parent [–] makyo@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago It only sucks for like the first ten years or so permalink fedilink source parent [–] HumanOnEarth@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 months ago Now now.... the correct phrasing is "cos running is fucking boring to me." permalink fedilink source parent
