Trail running - the scenery keeps changing, you have to watch every step to avoid rocks and roots, it's up and down, etc. Very engaging.
I also listen to podcasts - Radiolab, This American Life, Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, Fresh Air, the Moth. It's basically an entertaining person telling you interesting stories while you run.0 -
When I go on a treamill I started just mixing it up with a few exercises between sprints and jogs
1 minute jog
30 second sprint
10 leg curls & raises (machine is next to treadmill)
30 seconds sprint
2 minute jog
1 minute sprint
10 press ups & pull downs
30 seconds sprint
and just push the time up however long you fancy going or whatever exercises you fancy throwing in.
I ended up doing it for about 45 minutes total.0 -
I hear you...
I get so bored cycling...
So...I use a CANZ 808 speaker in my camel-back pack. I don't like using headphones since I ride trails and you have to hear audibles if someone is going to pass you...which I rarely hear. I was a little self conscious of the music blasting out of my pack at first, but I often am so isolated I know it can't be bothering anyone.

Switch up your route. If I am too familiar with how much farther I still have to run, I get bored and discouraged.
This 100%. I started driving 15 minutes away to a lake with trails around it for my weekend long run because I couldn't stand running loops around my neighborhood over and over. I run laps around a .85 mile loop and it got too easy to be like "eh, I'm just going to skip that last lap today".0
