studying while working out? 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.

Hi, dofubot,
check the thread
AUDIO Study Aids, Created by You for You (How To)
The use of these techniques helped me utilize much time that I would have otherwise wasted.
Good Luck!

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.
