Maybe it's just me, but I get bored when im running, and it sometimes causes me to stop.

What can I do to make myself not as bored if anything?

I do too. THe only thing I can suggest is listen to music. What I do is think about my training. Really think about anything really hard and you should keep yourself occupied. The worst thing you can do is think about running. You'll kill yourself before you're done running.

Run somewhere youre gonna see nice looking girls lol.

listen to music. I also go over gameplans in my head like what im gunna do in a fight

yea music helps, just set ur mind and motivate urself. sometimes helps me to run with someone else, to keep eachother goin.

Straight up, if you've got energy to get bored then you're just not running fast enough. Half assed training and boxing just don't mix.

if ever i feel like stoppin runnin i remind myself of y i do any training at all,
and this really pushes me to train as hard as possible wether im bored or tired.
every body has something that really motivates them they just have to remind themselves sometimes.

I constantly change pace, I would run for 2 minutes at slower pace then increase pace every minute for like 8 minutes then gradually decrease speed for 8 minute and then jog for the last 2 minutes. This keeps me busy.

i get bored. So i just listen to the music.. but i still get bored. **** eh? Thats just the way it is.

i have this problem, but im talking within 10 minutes im bored.. im thinking about getting into mountain biking or something like that, make burning calories a bit more interesting.

i put a tv in front on my treadmill and it make it go quicker

before you run you have to have a goal in mind. set on your goal and consentrate, how bad do you want it?

Run faster and keep track of your times.

One day run hard, one day run easy. On the hard day alternate hill work, sprints, and a long tough run. Take at least one day off per week from running. Always running on a soft surface, like grass or dirt, rather than asphalt or cement. Try to run where you don't have to worry about getting run over or killed, so it is pleasant. Run comfortably if possible, e.g not out in the blazing sun or freezing night time. Always stretch a least a little before and after. Warm up and cool off by jogging a bit on the hard days. Either run early and train boxing late, or run after the workout, since running uses so much energy, it will be difficult to train hard. Eat after you run. Don't try to do too much too soon. No more than 10% increase in mileage per week. Run distance according to your personal makeup. Some people only average 3 - 5 miles a day, and that's enough. Others will do 10 miles per day. There isn't a strict right or wrong. Use good form when running, swing the arms, lift the knees, breathe naturally. If in doubt, get a running coach to give you some ideas. Most boxing trainers know nothing about running for conditioning.

I usually listen to music and think about the competition internationally. While you're taking a break or getting bored, someone else is getting stronger and faster than you by not taking a break and running harder(Yea kinda' cliche I know)

I agree with punchdrunk. You're obviously not running hard enough. Say you go on a 30 minute run. Think about every new bit. Like for example, after about 5 minutes you get to the bushtrakc. Concentrate on just getting to the bushtrack. Then the next 5 minutes youll pass the bsut stop. Concentrate on getting to bus stop etc. It works for me
