So why the fuck would anyone run?
I ask the same question all the time.
Running just isn't "fun" to me. I like my mountain bike much more.
That said, I need to get back at it. I was getting decent results before I slacked off over the winter.
I have friends who prefer the running thing, and sure, you don't need a lot of expensive equipment. Well, I might... but it'd be rehab equipment after I turn a knee or ankle trying to run.
