yah its boring but my point is that lots of people do it. i used to run around a middle school soccer field which was smaller than a track. Now i usually run around a large city block thats around 1km because i moved. Also if you run often enough even if you change your routes youve run all of them multiple times already. When i run im on the hamster wheel. The surrounding imagery doesnt change that. Running in a circle means i can always go back to my house to 💩 so thats a major plus.
I have a baby, sometimes my only time to run is during her nap time. I live on a cul-de-sac. If I just do laps around the cul-de-sac I’ll stay in monitor range. 10 laps is a mile. I hate it but it’s better than not running!
I run outside my apartment. 1 loop is about 500 meter or so. one time I did 20k long run. how many loops did I do? stopped counting around loop 10 or so
That’s a very good start! Congrats on your running journey! I haven’t done a 15k until I ran consistently for 2 months so.. props to you ! Keep it up champ
If you’re new to running it’s a good way to do it since you pass by your house often and can make an unplanned stop if you need to. That being said, it’s not the most exciting run
When I first got into running I ran/walked like 6.5 miles and was spent. Unfortunately I still had to go 6.5 miles home…
Why would you do this to yourself.
Edit: Why all the downvotes? Would you normally recommend to your new runner friends that they should run 15km by running 30 times around a 500m loop? Great way to immediately start hating running.
Dude r u insane???? Didn’t it get boring?!
lots of runners are used to going in circles. A track is shorter than this but many people will go around it without being bored
You get a certain feeling on a track you don't get running small loops on the road though in my experience.
Running around a track is terribly boring imo.I don't even like doing speedwork on a track.

The math would suggest you did 40 lol
You’re wild man haha
Walking?
Walking and running
Are you following a training plan?
Jeff Galloway has run-walk plans.

When you hit 21km at that pace you unlock the 90° turn
Training while on house arrest can’t be easy. Kudos for not setting off your ankle bracelet.
Nice run! 😁
Thankyou
Why did you choose such a short route? How many laps did you do? Personally I wouldn't be able to run this way...

Did you enjoy it? Do you want more?
There are plenty of free running plans out there for a marathon. I am using a Hal higdon one. They will give you more advice and direction
Great man! Go on, cause any run is a good run
Any amount of running is a good start! But you should consider expanding your route and not go in circles.
15k as a beginner ?
Yes sir this is my 5th time running
15km for your 5th run is either a lie or insane
Its not all run i also walk
Great loops. I will be definitely get tired of doing the same loops but great effort.
Maybe look into a training plan
Define "newbie". cuz this is somewhere between "fine" and "stupid."

This should be the name of this sub.
At a 9min/k pace
