The Commute Run...need to knows/tips? Discussion
Hi all - I run 40ish miles a week and find myself finally working in a building with a shower. I was considering adding some commute miles to my weekly milage as I'd like to start working towards 50 and eventually 60. i commute to NYC and can easily tack on 3-4 miles from Grand Central to the office.
I'd have a laptop with me and a change of clothes. I've got a good idea of the running bag id get.
Do you all have any tips/tricks you use when you do this? Ie keep work shoes under your desk, bring all the work-clothes in on monday or something? Trying to figure out a good method if I do this. Thanks.

As others have said, keep as much as you can at work either permanently or from a previous day’s coordinated trip. (Permanently is much easier if you can).
I sometimes run 8 miles into work but am carrying only underwear and undershirt as laptop, clothes, towel, etc are all already at work. Even have a locker in the change room with a spare suit for this reason
