25 分钟Hey there, it's Shamita here.
It's the start of a new year, which for many of us means thinking about our habits,
our routines, how we take care of ourselves.
So we're bringing back a favorite episode from the archive about how to make exercise feel genuinely positive and sustainable,
not something you have to drag yourself through.
I hope you enjoy it and we'll be back with new episodes next week.
This is In Conversation from Apple News.
I'm Shamita Basu.
Today, how to learn to love running.
Martinez Evans was not a runner the day he decided to train for a marathon.
It was 2012.
He was working over eight hours a day on his feet,
and he started to feel pain in his hip, so he went to go see a doctor.
He looks at me and says, I know why you in pain.
Me, okay, well tell me why I'm in pain.
You ain't put a stethoscope on me, you ain't touched me, you ain't do anything.
And he was like, you're fat, and you need to lose weight or you're gonna die.
Martinez weighed 360 pounds.
He was used to doctors zeroing in on his weight before anything else,
but still, it made him furious.
