im starting to do higher milage, and it feels like sooo long.
What do you do to not get bored from plain running?
Audiobooks, talk with people, music, podcasts? or how is it you don't get fully bored?
any recomendations of an audiobook ,podcast or something to do?
Running 120-140mpw right now. I used to listen to podcasts on an iPod shuffle that I could clip to my hat and thread the headphones through. Haven't used it in a while but there was a solid three years I did almost every solo run with with it. Usually I just try to meet other people and have conversation to pass the time. There are still some solo runs and I just use it as relaxation time before/after work. I don't find the solo runs that boring really, they go by fairly quick then you're doing a lot of running.

120-140 holy molly.
Will try to get into a running group or something, then maybe its just because im starting and im hurting somewhat till some adaption absorbs. Yup just realized im still slow so more time on feet is obviously a factor.
Thanks Forcerunner.
I watch movies and listen to music while running on the treadmill.

Stop doing high mileage. Increase the pace of your runs instead or add more tempo runs. This is far better than high mileage of easy runs plus you won't have a boredom problem.
I do audiobooks and podcasts. More nonfiction than fiction. I just finished River of Doubt and found it fascinating. I don't know what you would find interesting, but surely there is something out there for you.
Yeah, definitely need my ipod to get me through cardio, otherwise those 10 min would feel like a marathon.

Doesn't your elliptical machine have a little TV?

I might do shorter milage after doing some basic base I think
