You can’t always avoid a big work meeting, but there are tricks that can make your run feel like less of a slog. Here’s what the pros recommend.
Logging miles after a hard day's work may feel like a stress reliever—but a recent study says your workout could suffer.Think about the last time you went for a run. What were you doing before it? Maybe you were waking up from a bad night’s sleep, or you’d just finished an intense project at work, or you’d spent the better part of an hour scrolling through Instagram.
When the athletes’ performances were analyzed, experts discovered that while physical measurements—such as heart rate, blood lactate, and oxygen consumption—weren’t affected by the mentally fatiguing task, psychological ones like perceived effort were.
“A tough day at work, having to work through a specific challenge or problem, or delivering a pitch or presentation can all cause mental fatigue,” says Fifer. “Basically, it’s anything that requires a significant amount of focus over an extended amount of time.” It’s kind of like doing something before your brain even figures out what’s happening: Busting out a 20-second high-intensity interval is mentally easier to push through than steeling your mind for a two-hour long run. So, if your workout doesn’t require a ton of thought—it’s more about physically powering through—then that can be the better option on days you’re feeling mentally exhausted.
