Anyone do the same run almost every single day?

Yeah, mine's a loop though, which is probably less boring than out and back.

Well actually - I'm on the track twice a week, and then on the weekends when I have free time I might drive somewhere for variety. But 3-4 runs per week are the exact same loop.

Whatever, I've been injured so much the last few years that I'm just grateful to be running. If it means the same loop I'll do it.

Yes. I do Fresh Pond all day erryday. Today I'm going on the treadmill though. I'm not liking this whole "get dark at 6:20" thing.

In HS we ran the same route every day by choice. We could have gone anywhere, but it felt comfortable.

We're the opposite at my school- we wish we could run elsewhere but we are stuck on the same trail/course almost every day.

whats the highest number of dogs you've counted in one loop?

You will look back years later when you move away and miss that old trail run. I used to do one al the time along a trail and back on the road up this hill. Right at the top of the hill this dog would jump up and bark at me. I was always pushing the pace up the hill and that bloody dog at the top would suprise me every time! Those were the days

Keep an eye out for wildlife in the treed and stuff to keep interest. Have ago at beating your time on the way back to liven things up a bit

It's better to be bored on your trail than injured on the roads - look out for any branch offs to vary the route + get a map you'd be suprised what routes you miss

We had a route in high school my friend and I named "The Evil Dog Route."

Daily

Starting dec 1972-02. Loop 3 good hills 7.2-8.1 depending on the

start. 5deg-105. Near whiteout wearing ski goggles to 100+ could

not see more than 1/2 mile ahead. Marked every 800 with a wheel

for inteval/tempo runs. Never got bored with it and yes I did it over

4,000 times.

I had a twelve kilometer route that I did everyday for about 8 months when I was in the eighth grade. I loved that loop, but I stopped doing it in 10th grade and didn't do it again until I was home for the weekend during my third year of law school.

I have other courses that I do very frequently (3-4 times a week some times), but none as much as that one.

I ran the same loop every run for 3 years and I liked it. Never even changed direction...well I tried it once but it felt weird. Was a spectacular route--Pacific Ocean on one side, Stanley Park on the other (this is in Vancouver). Now I run on a treadmill in my basement and I still like it. I love having a routine. No thinking. Just get up and go.

I get to where I dislike running anything but "the loop" save for a nice run in the mountains or something. Every morning is a few laps around the cemetary, every afternoon the loop around the golf course and back. I never really stray from it, though I do understand doing the same out and back every day would get tiresome.
