I don’t walk but I run 60-120 min 4-5x a week and could not imagine doing so with headphones. Firmly believe we need time away from the constant stimulation of modern life.

I wish I could do the same, but the running(even at low pace like 6mph) is too taxing without something fun to listen to

  • Too taxing in what sense? Too boring? Too hard? If it’s the later, slow down to a brisk walk to build some stamina.

    If it’s the former, start watching your surroundings. There’s a ton of things that are fun to watch.

    • Sounds like they’re using a treadmill, and yes this is about the most boring way possible to exercise

    • Mostly boring, but in upper zone 2 and sometimes zone 3 does not help. Yeah, I find it helpful to run outdoor. It’s particularly enjoyable to run in a trip because the routes will be unfamiliar
