The first two tips: “Start with a problem” and “No headphones” are right-on. I’m not a big runner, but when I have some big problem in my mind, the first thing I do is run. Usually I’ll have a solution by the end of the session, but if I don’t, I’d have worked through some of the negative emotions. In terms of the headphones, it’s a great way not only to pay attention to your inner self, but also to sounds that normally you wouldn’t pay attention. Especially for routes far from traffic, you can find some peace just by listening birds sing.

I agree with this problem-solving tip. The only thing I donÃ‚Â´t agree with is the “No Headphones” suggestion. Some uplifting music in the background while considering solutions has been very helpful for me. Also it helps if you pose a well defined question to yourself so that your mind works intensively in finding you a solution.

Thanks as always for the great suggestions.

Interesting article. When I was training for my marathons I found that listening to an audiobook or podcast was actually one of the best ways to spur new ideas. Even if I was kinda zoning out I’d often come up with something new if I had something playing in the background. It was one of the things that led me to start LearnOutLoud.com because I felt there was an opportunity for more people to “learn on the run.”. :)

Great post! I always enjoy running to clear my mind and think of new ideas. As a fort Myers photographer it also helps to find new locations for photo shoots, so my camera phone gets used for this often. Although the only running I like in the summer is on Sanibel Island in the surf of the beach… otherwise it is just too hot!

I would like to add a some caveats for us senior citizens:

Running on concrete pavements is tough on the knees and lower back. Better to run on grass or unpaved ground.

Right type of sneakers (running vs basketball, walking, etc) cushions the impact better.
