    I also hate running at the mo, a coupla years back i played club rugby which involved quite a bit of aerobic fitness and I remember back then I also hated it but after a short while I learned to love it - I think that it is the pain of getting into it that causes the dislike, but that soon passes and you can enjoy your workout.
    Have you heard the phrase "Success breeds success"? i believe that the motivation to run actually comes from running

    I have always preferred to run early in the mornings' cool crisp air.

    As a side note I have read that it is beneficial for boxers to include interval runs into their roadwork program.

    The interval doc that i read can be found at:

    When I used to box which was about 10 years ago I used to find it quiet relaxing as long as I changed the route from time to time.

    For sprint training you find a nice flexible branch of willow, snap it off at about a 3 feet length ,find a copper on street duty and sneak up on him and wack him across the buttocks. Run, run real fast.


    For endurance I find a naked barbie doll on a stick strung out in front of me.

    I can explain it.
    But I cant understand it for you.

    A dog chasing you is good.
    Or run through a very dangerous area. Its amazing how much more energy you can find when the streets are paved with crack heads.
