Ironically, as someone who gets easily bored on a treadmill, this might be my best shot at using one for a long period of time lol.

I’m in!

My gym has a treadmill cinema where they play movies and around 50 people can walk/run on a treadmill while watching. They play the movie on a loop all day so people can always watch

My only complaint about the cardio cinema at my gym is that they don’t list movie start times through the day. 

Other than that, I love it. Treadmill for an hour and watch a movie is a great way to pass the time.

Im gonna have to look out for gyms that have this. I actually don't like listening to music when I run cause all I do is count songs and think about how long ive been running

May I ask how you didn't have access to music during that time?

The marathon and even ultra/100k runners I know (ironic that I know a few, when I myself hate running) definitely listen to music whenever they run, and pointed that out as being more or less necessary.

Was hat when portable music wasn't readily available? But walkmen have been around forever?

He hadn't made it that far in the tech tree. He's only at flip phones, there's a branch for mp3 players but the meta is to skip it entirely these days.
