For the past few times I've gone to the gym I've been playing my psp on a stationary bike because it gets so boring just running.
I've been able to do 20 km. in 50 minutes of non-stop biking at an effort level somewhere in the middle of easiest and most difficult, so it didn't affect timing too much. I didn't get a lot of weird stares either, because people know cardio is boring is hell and they saw that I was doing pretty well regardless.
I don't know if it helped that the game I was playing at was MHP2G, since playing it will encourage you -not- to stop since monster hunting is based on gaining momentum and rhythm.
