>>76724278Do jump squats instead.Set a timer for 20 mins.Knock out sets of 10, or as many as you can do until you need a break.Rest.Continue until time is up.Way better than running to improve cardio fitness, leg strength and endurance. Running is just kind of "meh" for anything but...running.

Sometimes when I'm close to giving up, I imagine what my cavemen ancestors had to go through and I feel like a little bitch. This often helps
>>76724278I don't think that makes you autistic buddy. People who get through navy seal training, UFC champions, Boxing Champs, Tennis, it's because their mind is a fortress. They can mentally remove themselves from pain, neigh saying, and distraction, simply through belief in themselves. Simply by distracting yourself, and thinking of a tachometer you are regulating your speed and breathing subconsciously. It's a lot like meditation, youre just removing that initial ping of your mind to give up. In your case it just happens to be by believing youre a fucking race car. Hope it keeps working lad, ill try it myself.
