High Tech Treadmills in the HUB Gym

I know most of us have been in the HUB gym at one point or another in our time here. As of last year they revamped all the treadmills where you can now do all sorts of things. You can plug in your Ipod and listen through the treadmill or even watch TV. This is my favorite aspect of the new treadmills because it really takes your mind off the monotony of running in side on one. Generally, all you do is stare at the wall of mindless posters and are bored within a few minutes. When your mind takes over self doubt begins to creep in and you begin to focus on how tired you are. It's all downhill from there and it's tough to really have a "mind over matter"state of mind. When you have a TV in front of you it really takes your mind off what you are doing. The other day a soccer game was on between Man City and Manchester United I started watching at halftime and I didn't look down at the time for 25 minutes and realized I had run nearly 4 miles. You really do get distracted and it can be beneficial to be having a relatively fun time watching TV all the while getting a good exercise routine in. I really suggest if you want to get a good run and have an easier time trying to accomplish a difficult running task, go to the HUB, turn on the TV and get started running! (Never thought i'd say that in a million years!)
