 This question came through Instagram: Why does running suck?
My buddy Big Neil and I touched on it in our podcast The Big Freakin’ Health Coach Podcast, and I thought it deserved more consideration and explanation.

In the context of this question I am assuming that the type of running in question is long duration running - AKA jogging. Jogging is often understood to be a low intensity steady state (LISS) form of cardio, lasting 20-60 minutes for the average person. As someone who does NOT run for fun, here are my thoughts on running, and why so many people think it sucks.
