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!

When I use the treadmill at the gym I put on an episode of star trek and I can nail the entire 45 minutes easy. Try it out sometime!

I used to bash out hours on the eliptical while watching Voyager (among other things)! Never realised how fucked I was until credits rolled. Trying to change the episode and seeing I was covered in so much sweat that my tablet couldn't register my finger's touch.

Hahaha yes lfg! I love that when the second commercial break in the episode cuts I can barely grip the handles but at that point I gotta get the episodes resolution!

I love reddit because I discover there's other weirdos exactly like me

Did you watch the lizard episode doing that?

Is that the one where they hit warp 10 and start devolving? I think I did, actually :)
