The key to not hating running is to run consistently. You've got to train those muscles that have forgotten that it's cool to run that it is cool to run. Then you can do short runs no bother and you start to tell your legs that it's cool to run a bit further and a bit further.
Before you know it you're running races that take you 30 hours or so and you're legs are like that's cool.
I’ve done a few brisk long walks now and a few short jogs. Pain. Seems kind of abstract matching this with over 4hrs and 26 miles. I’ve always wanted to not hate running though
