Where are my fellow anti-running people?

I hate running. I tell my BFF the only way I'll run any sort of race is if there is a killer clown behind me and the promise of booze at the end.
I've tried so many programs / apps based on I also hated running until... recommendations with a positive attitude. Nope, I hate running and I'm just not going to ever get on board with the running trend and I'm OK with that.
I elliptical instead. I love the ellpitical.
Where are my fellow running is the worst people? How do you get your cardio in?

I haaaaaate running and refuse to do so! In fact I just told someone yesterday that if they see me running they better run too because something disastrous must be right behind me!0

Why would anyone try to convince you to love some exercise you hate? I like running (don't love it, but like it). It's my main form of cardio. But it's not for everyone.
I also bike. Maybe you'd prefer that?0 -
i used to. until one day i didn't.
I also used to love the elliptical and now hate it. We all change.0 -
i use the eliptical or ride my bike.
either way, i hate cardio in general. i hate hate hate it.0 -
I don't love or even like running. I wog. I lose weight with and prefer jogging intervals. I do not go above 5 mph and will walk at 3 mph. I don't even follow c25k or anything like that. I follow my own. Right now I'm currently doing 1min jog/4 min walk. Cardio is anything that gets your heart rate up. Believe me, 1 min at 5 mph gets my HR up plenty. lol Like a previous poster said:Why would anyone try to convince you to love some exercise you hate??
I completely agree with this. If you hate running, then no reason do it. I enjoyed the elliptical at one point. And I did the stationary bike at one point. As long as you get your heart rate up who cares how!
LOL....btw....there is a Wine Run with a 1K tasting WALK.

I'm glad that most people hate running, the trails are crowded enough. Now if I could just convince a couple of million more people to quit cycling........
Seriously OP, do what you love!0 -
One of the funniest memes I read said " If my body is ever found dead on a jogging trail, just know I was murdered elsewhere and dumped there."0

I do the Arc trainer. I think it is a better workout than the elliptical. Better on my knees, calves and not as boring as a treadmill.0

They are all out running.0 -
my motto is the only time you will see me running is if its from the cops.
Seriously though i have a rod with screws in my leg and its painful. I do get my cardio from mountain bike riding. That i enjoy..0 -

Someone asked if I'd run if there were zombies chasing me. I said Zombies plod along. I can walk at my normal speed and out pace them. Knife wielding killer clown with the promise of booze may get me to run but even then it's iffy.farfromthetree wrote: »One of the funniest memes I read said " If my body is ever found dead on a jogging trail, just know I was murdered elsewhere and dumped there."
That's me!Why would anyone try to convince you to love some exercise you hate??
My BFFs heart is in the right place. She loves her 5ks and half-marathons and I told her I'd try.
And I even turned down a Wine run. I'd totally do the 1K tasting walk though!0 -
I'm anti-running, but pro-jogging.0

I do interval running on the treadmill, but not for long at a time, and that's all the running I do. Out in the real world a nice walking pace of 3 mph seems to work just fine. (I want to get to 4 mph.)0
-
I do lots of running from running.0
-
I don't like it much either...yet but I'm sure after the weight comes off I'm going to love it0
-
I used to hate running. Still sort of do. Until I discovered intervals. Much like C25k but without the goal of running for long periods of time. I simply run for a minute, walk for 2 minutes. Repeat 5 or 6 times. It's a great workout.0

Hahaha!! This is totally me!0 -

I am not a runner either. Even when I was well conditioned in running (running 3-5 miles 2 or 3 times a week), I never got to the point where I liked it. Each time I woke in the morning and remembered it was a 'running day' I'd no longer look forward to my workout! I've accepted that I never will and as another poster said, why do something you don't like?! Instead I: swim, elliptical, walk, or do step aerobics (I know, so totally 80's but it's a GREAT workout for me) for my cardio days. Me, I love my strength training!!!!0
