When I go jogging, I always stop as I basically can't be bothered... Is there a way for me to stay motivated?

[Anonymous]

I'm a cadet so I need to be fit enough to run at least a kilometer in just over three minutes thirty (give or take a bit). So I am trying to go jogging regularly but I can't seem to get motivated enough! I'm not lazy either I just don't particularly like running... Is there a way to motivate myself more?

Ok so I was in your situation! I just bought an MP3 and listened to motivational music and by the time i reached the last song the run was over xD In extreme circumstances I try to get sexually aroused (works for me) or try and get motivation from people I pass, imagining that they're an audience in which i have to perform better, if I see a hot girl I pass, it gives me even more motivation, kinda like showing off. there's loads of ways to gain motivation. I can name more but I think I've provided enough xD

slow down your pace, not by too much, but if you can't hold a running pace then slow it down a bit and slowly improve.

your sargeant is gonna kick your ass! that will motivate you sweetie... let me know if you want some motivating tips... i had the same problem.

That would be great if you could give me some tips :) and I do really well in PT I always pass well (I try not to do the stamina run) but even without that I normally pass easily... I want to be good at stamina though :)
