You go over math formulas while you run on the treadmill? 😵What do you all do? I find going over math formulas does the job!O.K. well, I am using on a ski simulator. Well, some of these things have TVs connected with subtitles.

I do on a ski simulator.
Listening to music typically helps to make them less boring. Also watching tv can help too.
The music is terrible in the gym and the TV screens have no subtitles.
Then bring an MP3 player and a pair of headphones...
This! Back when I went to the gym I brought my iPod(oh wow its been a while..) and a pair of noise cancelling headphones. Made the gym much more enjoyable.
I dislike treadmills. No matter what you try to distract yourself with, they're still so painfully boring—like a hamster wheel.
Personally, running on the track at the gym is much more enjoyable. Progress feels more concrete, there are curves and sometimes people to navigate around, it's easier to change speed, and there's more to look at instead of just straight ahead.
If I do have to use a machine, I'd prefer an elliptical.

I don't need mental things to keep from boredom while running - as in on a track or road. Well, on the road - they're are plenty of beer bottles thrown. 😱
Beer bottles being thrown at you?? Or just at the side of the road?
That could lead to harassment accusations.
I thought of this thread while I was in the workout room at the hotel I was staying in this past week. They had TVs hooked up to all the equipment so you could focus on something else besides exercise.

It's a Treadmill. It's meant for exercise. Some People dislike exercise while others do like it. You can't really make a Treadmill boring other than listening to Music while doing it or watching TV while doing it.

I doubt you can make running in place can be made any more boring. 😀
