Research shows mental fatigue caused by a brain on overdrive can have negative effects on our physical performance.
Detroit-based marathoner Nathan Walker, who was also set to run the Vancouver Marathon in early May, quickly noticed a shift in the difficulty of his runs in late March when Michiganders were ordered to stay inside. In the days leading up to the shutdown, Walker, 43, was averaging 45-mile weeks with 13- to-16-mile long runs and ramping up his training. Now, the music publicist says he’s lucky if he can maintain a slower pace for 8 miles.
Adding the stress of the pandemic to the already volatile political climate has only compounded Walker’s mental load, he says. For now, he can’t predict a time when he’ll enjoy the prospect of running again beyond as an excuse to get out of the house. For many others, the fear of potentially losing their jobs takes a serious toll, as well. That’s the case for Rick Wilson, a Santa Monica-based marathoner who works in sales. “Business is way down. I’m feeling huge pressure: Am I going to keep my job?” he says.
