If you’re doing a long run
If you’ve got to run 15 plus kilometres on the treadmill, you want something extremely binge-able and reliably good. Consider a show you can easily get into and watch for a couple hours.
Recommendations: Friends, The Office, New Girl
If you’re doing speed work or hard intervals
You’re probably going to be pretty focused during this workout, so if you want any TV, it’s likely background noise. You want a show that you know so well, you can drift in and out of it and know exactly what’s going on.
Recommendations: Grey’s Anatomy, Gossip Girl, Law & Order Special Victims Unit
If you’ve got an easy day
Watch something that you’ve never seen before. It’s an easy day so you’ll probably be able to focus during your workout. You shouldn’t be so tired that everything around you becomes background noise. Take in a new plot line and learn about new characters.
Recommendations: Orange is the New Black, Ozark, House of Cards
If you’re cross-training
Cross-training could almost be considered the most tedious aspect of being a runner. Whether cross-training is preventative or the result of sustaining an injury, it’s the worst. A cross-training minute feels like an eternity, so you’ll want to put on something particularly engaging. For a cross-training workout we suggest an exciting drama that will hold your attention and make you forget about the passing minutes.
Recommendations: Black Mirror, Breaking Bad, The Crown
