For me, running is meditative and exploratory. I can just leave my house and mentally create a route in my head as I go. Also, being outside feels so much better to me than being in a gym. So yeah, the benefits are probably more psychological than physical, but nothing sounds worse to me than walking on a treadmill for 30 minutes, much less an hour. I have a hard enough time doing “reverse sled pulls” on a treadmill for 5 minutes to start my workouts.
That being said, I love my hour of lifting in the gym, but for more zone 2 work, I’d just much rather be outside.
