Most of us recognise there's a world of difference between running a 5k parkrun and running a marathon. We're also likely to accept there's a different recovery time and if we don't build in that time to recover, there's likely to be stress and load on our ligaments and eventually an injury that will stop us running altogether. It's a reminder that as humans we are not machines and when we overload, we will wear down until something breaks. Just like our ligaments, the brain is not a machine that goes on forever. Yet how we organise our day can force the brain to do a series of gentle jogs or back-to-back marathons. In this episode we look at how we can organise our day to build better brain stamina.
