studying while working out? [#permalink] New post   12 Apr 2011, 22:24
Not quite sure if this is the right place to ask, but does anyone have tips for studying while working out, specifically running? I am aiming to take the GMAT in August and am currently training to run a marathon in June so my free time basically consists of running and studying for the GMAT. It would be awesome if I could somehow merge my training time with study time b/c both take up quite a deal of time on their own. I can't read well while running so going over paper-based material is not really a viable option. However, any tips would be appreciated!

If you can get podcasts, that may help learn something while running!

agreed, there was a thread early about how you can create your own audio recordings of yourself to reinforce what you learned.

Otherwise, get up early, train hard, eat right and sleep really early.

I try to study a bit while im working out too, although I don't have a very structured approach.

I study before working out, and then when I'm running or biking, I go over what I learned in my head.

I feel it helps slightly in reinforcing what I've learned, but I'm sure its not as significant as if you created voice recordings and listened to those while working out.
