I can run but I just don’t — wondering if I should change that
I’m not really a “runner” in any structured sense, but I feel like I might actually be someone who’s meant to run… even though I barely run lol.
Some context: 35F; Current running: very occasional (no weekly mileage, no plan); When I do run: I can comfortably run 30–40 mins at ~9 km/h without stopping; Other activity: pickleball fairly regularly + some on/off strength training
I’m fine at running when I do it - It’s not something my body struggles with or that feels out of reach. I just… don’t do it regularly and that makes me wonder how I am able to do fine at it.
It ends up being something I only do randomly once in a while, even though I know it’s probably good for me if it was a more consistent habit.
I’m not training for anything right now, and I wouldn’t even say I’m especially drawn to running, but I keep coming back to the thought that I should probably be doing more of it than I currently am.
Curious how others think about this — when you know you can do something like running comfortably, but you don’t actually build it into your routine. Do you just accept it as occasional, or make it a more intentional habit?
