I just wanted to make a comment that I deliberately choose to not run to allow my daydreaming mode (default mode network) to become active and to “recharge” my deep work system. Basically, there is evidence that walking makes you more creative, and it’s a really easy way for me to get into that specific brain state. I also use it as a shorter idea-based meditation so that I can focus on a problem and try to solve it whilst walking.
