What's on your second monitor during treadmill time?

I’m the same about the cooldown clips. On my second monitor I usually put a long ambient walking tour with captions—low-stimulation enough that I don’t negotiate, but enough motion that the clock doesn’t feel like a threat.

I also keep a tiny notes widget open and jot a 1–10 “how are my legs/breath” at minute 10 and 25; if it creeps up, I drop incline by one for the last 5 instead of quitting. Weirdly, that check-in has done more for consistency than any playlist.

Gentle q: do you find the 40-min essay helps you stay for the full 35, or does it sometimes make you overshoot because you want to finish the thought?

I put traffic cams on. Weirdly calming, and I stop checkng the clock.

I do the same with cooldown clips—otherwise I’m done at 22 minutes too 😅

Traffic cams would have me narrting like a small-town gossip show 😂

I use my second screen for silent 5-minute snack-drawer restock videos—just visual ideas, no sound. Keeps me from opening the pantry after.

Two kids means the drawer is either a crime scee or empty. Sharp follow-up: do you cast from your phone or is there a garage tablet?

My phone dies halfway through and I end up negotiating with a dead screen.

Honestly I need the boring stuff on, anything with plot and I lose count of my intervals.
