Shout-out to y'all runners. I hate it. Tried it a few times, was jogging 5 miles at one point but I just hated it.

I prefer hiking and rucking (walking with a heavy backpack). Nearly as intense as jogging, but easier on the joints.
How is running hard on joints? I hear people use this as an excuse for not running. I think it’s mental

I feel like it keeps your legs/knees/ankle healthy. It will take a toll on your feet with the wrong shoes

Hiking and rucking seem to be worse

It's not an excuse. It's basic physics.

"Running produces ground reaction forces that are approximately 2.5 times body weight, while the ground reaction force during walking is in the range of 1.2 times body weight."

And low impact exercise also keeps the legs/knees/ankles healthy.

But that's not why I don't do it. I have an irrational dislike for it.

I feel like running is an acquired taste.

I used to hate long distance running. Now I’m coming around to it

I’d never run a marathon though. I can see that as being hard on the legs

Had to take 2 days off after health scare. I ran for 4 miles at pretty high pace. My heart rate stayed high for several hours after and I was having cold chills and fever like symptoms. Anybody ever had this?

You should get it checked out, if you haven't already

Any marathon runners in here? Looking to train for one early December. Looking for some pointers for a first time runner.
Start training at least 6 months before. Lift weights - single leg repeats. Do speed work. So long slow runs 80% of the time. Get a lot of rest. Work on your nutrition and hydration strategy well in advance. Wear good shoes.
That’s all I got. Good luck
