Why do some people hate running so much?

Why do some people hate running so much? Like they slander it with ''lowers test'' ''it kills your gains'' ''premature death'' etc

Running is literally as natural of a training style you can get, it's good for you, and it feels good, why is it so tribalistic? Either it's all weights or all cardio, can't you enjoy both?

      No one actually enjoys running. For you to enjoy it there must be a PURPOSE. For example playing footy or pickup basketball where the running has a point, where you compete to score goals and win. Just aimlessly running in circles is cringe as frick and autistic.

          You can't win though. I need the instant gratification of winning which I get by playing footy in the park. People would enjoy cardio if it was promoted as a masculine group competitive thing via sports more so than a boring solo gruel.

          I hated cardio for so long because I though the only way was boring running alone.

        Exercise increases blood flow and increases recovery rates manifesting over (even a short) time as desire to lift more weights (no soreness) and significant gains. It also helps skelebros to work up a healthy appetite because 300 calories from running adds 600 calories of appetite (semi-arbitrary numbers yes). I took up walking, biking and running so I could eat more for weightlifting and it worked.

      there are studies that indicate that prolonged exertion of steady-state cardio - like 45min+ - spike cortisol and lower test.
      no i don't feel like finding them b/c i don't care.

      It's just not as necessary as people think. Long distance running can be done only once a week and you'll get the benefits instead of killing yourself everyday.
      Eating right and sleep is more important.

      Yea, we walked our prey down to death usually after shooting it. We didn't jog for 40+ minutes 6 days a week. If anything sprinting for short periods of time once in a while is more natural. There are still Black tribes in Africa that remain sedentary all day, kill something when they need to, and walk back to camp. They're still shredded because of their diet alone. Expending energy when you don't need to is moronic. Lions doesn't even do it.

        wrong. we mogged down our prey in a running contest until they literally died from running. or a pack of humans runs and herds preys towards a cliff and they throw themselves down. humans start outrunning most horses at +50km distance. I vaguely remember watching some documentary about a tribe somewhere, where if the hunters fail to take their shot, their backup plan, the runners come and chase them down to death. it was said like their runners claimed they can run an entire day or something.

    Because I suck, my sprints have always been far above average ever since I was a child but longer distance running makes me want to kms.
    I tried running when I was overweight, underweight and fit, I got the runner's high only twice so I can see why so many people love it but chasing that dragon is not for me.

    They’re traumatized because they had to run the mile in PE and it made them uncomfortable for a few minutes. The way we teach running in this country is stupid, they shouldn’t be asking kids who have been playing video games up until age 12 to get up and run as fast as the can once a week and stressing them out by grading them on it, all it does is turn them off from running for life once they’re out of high school. Pic related, easy run this morning.

      There's something to be said about holding a pace and the mental drain of trying to chose a path over jagged rocks. Holding that pace through elevation changes. I'm an ex alcoholic so I just get hooked to shit immediately kek

      I love it when someone else drops one of my personal theories. Never know if other people are noticing this stuff. Like reading, learning, philosophy, music, art, and thinking - running is ruined by public schooling. Intentionally. They remove the joy of a thing by replacing it with a reward/fail state, a due date, and they thus associate it with anxiety. People obligingly hate it until something jars the drone mindset loose.

    HIT is what got me into running again. I've found that after a certain point I fail my lifts for lack of breath and make zero muscle gains until it's resolved. What's the most direct way to myself oxygenate harder? I'm gonna run but it's supplemental to my lifting. I'm not trying to "become a runner". I just want to do what works and then frick off.

    That’s why I do a bro split. Putting together a weekly routine that hits every muscle group and has a couple days of cardio training works great for me. running is a great way to cut and sculpt the gains from lifting. Plus the aesthetics are better for men combing the two for lower body. You don’t get t-rex sized legs but you don’t get chicken legs either. You just have to keep the mileage down to less than 10 miles/week and not sperg out on squats so you stay relatively fresh for the next leg day or run. And running is all women need to look fit. A runners ass looks much better than some fat bloated squat ass and cellulite thighs

    My theory is that while strength and power training is easy since it only lasts for a few seconds. Good running and cardio takes much longer and therefore more prone to psychological fatigue. It's easier to get distracted, it's easier to get discouraged. Same with all high rep exercises.

    When you start lifting your first rep you have maximum energy and therefore confidence. However as you pull out more reps you find yourself slowly lowering and your body begins to tire and stiffen up. You either need to ration your energy reserves better, or you need to willpower it through. The latter always fails.

    A little cardio never hurt anyone. I've always held the opinion that the difference between a fat person and a fit/healthy person is if they can reliably move the mass they have. Mobility and flexibility is the real target here.

    I think I was way too self conscious as a kid. I was terrible at it (possibly due to low level asthma) basically always came last (apart from the fat kid, although I was chubby) and so I avoided it.

    It really depends on your goals. Most powerlifters only care about the number they're lifting. Bodybuilders only care about the size of their muscle.

    Running doesn't really do anything for either one of those two sports, unless you want to make the argument about lung capacity or whatever but that's strawmanning.

    For genuine fitness, running or some form of intense cardio is mandatory and always will be in humans. But I like to do the best of both worlds. During the winters I bulk, do very little cardio, lift heavy and gain muscle. When the weather gets better, I start my cuts and start focusing on cardio and endurance over weightlifting.

    The end result is pretty good

    >oh you must just suck at it
    My fastest mile run years ago was 6 minutes. I'm not sure what that qualifies as in terms of terrible or okay. I don't have a distance runner body for sure, and it does not and never has felt good. Sprinting feels good for a while but not longer distance running.I don't care if someone else feels differently, good for them, but I choose not to run. I do cardio pretty much any other way, my favorite is vigorously fricking my wife from behind.

    Because there's an art to running and not everyone understands how to do it properly; which tends to lead to injury, and it happens enough that bad knowledge prevails.

    To get good at running, you have to get good at walking first. Build up some basic stamina/endurance to the activity. Go for a 30m walk every day. Do this until you can comfortably walk 3-5 miles a day. Then, learn to jog and do 1/10th that. Then jog 1/5th that. Then jog 1/2th that and so on until you can jog 3-5 miles a day.

    This is just an example, but there's a method to the madness and the results aren't immediate and visible. Plus, the lack of being in shape and having a good cardiovascular system, ends up being a huge turn off. The difficulty curve spikes obscenely from the first five minutes and the propensity to give up and just not do it again, goes with it.

    tl;dr: people don't know how to and simply going on a run with no training or knowledge is a recipe for motivational and disciplinary disaster.
