I chase the girls on the machines in front of me. I never catch them. /sad/

I watch shows on my tablet. It's nice because the treadmill is the only cardio machine I use that keeps the pace for me... No extra brain cells required.0

Music on my phone, eye candy provided by cute guys at the gym and sports on the smalls TVs on the machines.0

i HATE THE Treadmill But I do use the crossramp. When I am on that I repeat positive affirmations and list reasons why I am torturing myself Also the gym plays loud music.0

Usually I listen to music and day dream. Running on the treadmill is really boring so I try to keep my mind occupied with fun fulfilled day dreams.0

The zombie I put on the wall behind my treadmill hahahah. Just music or tv at home. At gym just watching other people work out motivates me0

The short answer is I don't... I will run outdoors at all costs... rain, sun, snow, or shine... anything from 10 degrees to 90... anything to avoid that boring machine!!! :happy:0

I finished c25k while watching action movies - Star Trek, Iron Man, Avengers, etc etc. The treadmill is right next to the couch in front of the TV :-)
Now I'm doing c25k outside, with music. I sort of miss watching movies, the outside is pretty boring, and WAY harder!0 -
Pandora on my kindle or watching movies on my external hd on my kindle0

It used to be music, but I evolved away from that in my running. It happened when I ran outside a lot this past Spring/Summer. Now I just listen to my breathing, footwork, and daydream. Good luck.0

I don't normally use a treadmill but if I did I would pretend I was a zombie chasing the person in front of me. Just don't start groaning because they'll ask you to leave the gym.0
