If your office doesn’t have a shower or you are short on time, don’t shower! Pack a washcloth and a lightweight towel, and take a quick sponge bath. Use deodorant. If you are hot, wear a short-sleeve shirt until you cool down. To reduce sweating during your run, be bold, start cold. Dress for how warm your body will be in the middle of your run, not for before you start running.
You don’t need to run your entire commute both ways each day, especially if you have a long run. The best run commute is the one that fits realistically into your schedule. Commuting using alternate transportation allows for rest and can enable you to carry less on the days you run. Consider storing your gear at work and transporting large items on the days you don’t run. Plan ahead, and don’t take your laptop home unless it is necessary.
Build redundancy into your organization to give yourself greater flexibility. Leave a dedicated pair of shoes at work along with extra clothes, outerwear, underwear, food, toiletries, and any other essentials. This allows for forgetfulness and enables you to run out the door with minimal packing if you are behind schedule.
This won’t work for everyone, but if you have a short run to transit or live very close to your office, consider saving time by running in your work clothes. It is best to wear your running shoes, and not all outfits are good for running. Be mindful of chafing and tight clothing. Depending on the temperature and your individual physiology, if you start cold and keep your run easy, you may be able to avoid sweating. Run as much as is comfortable, and walk the rest.
Know your digestive system. If coffee or certain foods plus running will cause an unscheduled emergency, consider enjoying your refreshments after your run, or find a bathroom on your route and plan to stop there. Be aware that if you change your typical schedule for a run commute, your body may not be prepared.
