If you can think about work while running, you're jogging at best. Every plateau I hit with my running is the result of distraction and is broken through by being present, focusing on form and deliberately running. I've gained weight and haven't realized the full benefits of exercise because I've thought about work. It's at odds with achieving healthful living..
- paperwasp42 6y agoFor me, those sorts of intense bursts of creativity aren't "thinking about work." It's an unconscious rush of thought that I couldn't hold back if I tried. It's basically a natural high, and I find it extremely refreshing and mentally healthy.
- burnished 6y agoMy experience agrees with your first statement, but more in the sense that really good thinking was possible when I was at a pace I felt confident I could maintain for an hour or two without being overly tired afterwards. Of course that pace increased over time and eventually my 'jog' pace was faster than my starting 'run' pace.
