Is running a love/hate relationship
i have a love/hate relationship with running, been running 5 days a week for almost 3 months, i was wondering does eevryone have a love-hate relationship, or do some love every bit, including the pain you get as you end your 10 mile run with a FAST sprint, ect ect.

Mostly just a 'hate' relationship.
I don't run very often because of it!
and dammit, that's why I got a 9:00 time on the 100 burpee challenge.

I loathe LSD. I just don't have the mental fortitude for it. I'll be gassed within a mile because I'm incapable of pacing myself, and then because I get distracted easily I'll end up stopping at a wendys or mcdonalds, get a shake, and then walk back to my apartment. It's happened 4 times this year already.
I like sprints more. Prefer hill sprints and 400s, but I'm working on my 100 and 50m. They're just more fun to do than LSD and a lot quicker.

Yes, very much so, about 80% hate!

Mainly hate, i do enjoy a nice run some days but usually it's something i am happy to avoid.

No, your enjoyment of it is proportional to your ability at it IMO. I've really been focusing on my sprints and middle distance times these past couple of months and have come to fucking love even the brutally challenging runs. No bullshit or mental trickery, I just started loving it.
It's no different than lifting IMO - at first it's hard and feels like a chore, but as soon as you look at your log and see how quickly you're improving, the payoff is immense. Set yourself some definite goals, start keeping close track of your performance and have every run mean something in a greater context of training, and you'll start having fun.

Audiobooks are my savior. I still hate running but I can force myself to do it.

agreed
Those first few weeks are a bitch, but then you begin to really get your head into it and it becomes fun.
Trail runs are something I never thought I would enjoy, but after a few and practise normal runs I started to understand what people were going on about.
