not trolling at all... serious question for you runners. How do you enjoy it? Or do you? I am 32 years old, been very athletic my whole life. Still play sports and hit the gym. And get on the treadmill for like 20mins a few times a week. After like 5mins of running i feel like my legs are going to explode lol, like i just hate freaking running. How do you enjoy it?

Runner's high is a real thing. After a long/hard run and a hot shower I feel great.

Plus, you are doing the hardest part of running without reaping the rewards. For me, the most difficult part of a run is the first 15-20 minutes because my body is getting into rhythm. It's right about that 3-mile mark that I really start enjoying the run.

Plus it really helps me clear my head when I'm stressed out.

Alot of enjoying running is proper pacing. Alot of people just try to run too fast/hard and they lose the beauty and relaxation of a nice run.

For most people who aren't training or trying to hit some sort of an interval, you should be able to have a conversation while running.

I like running a lot. It clears my head and you feel good afterwards.

That said, I'd rather be running outside in the rain than on a treadmill. 10 minutes on that thing and I want to die . Outside I can run the exact same route multiple times a week and not be bored.
