I apologize for how negative that sounds! It’s been 3 months. I unfortunately can’t be as consistent as I’d like because of chronic utis. I currently go about 8-10 km/h for 20 mins at a time, 2-3 times a week when I’m healthy. I keep at it because I’ve noticed a boost in my general energy and mood, but I hate pretty much every second of actually running. I read that that’s normal as you start out, especially if you start from zero like I did. But I’ve also read you eventually start to tolerate and then later enjoy it. How long did it take for you to get to that point?

    I bought a used gym quality treadmill for my home, though they are pretty big and not everybody can reasonably do that. Because it’s always there I also sometimes take meetings on the treadmill at a walking pace. It’s great during the winter where I live because I usually don’t want to go out in the snow, and having the treadmill helps me exercise, even by just walking, when I would otherwise be wasting away.
