Could you also make those last easy steps more memorable so that availability bias prevails whenever you think of running?

For whatever reason I like to finish my workouts rough. Now you made me wonder if this is psychologically counterproductive.

Hm, perhaps!

Unless you feel like starting a workout is more effortful than it should be/you'd like, I wouldn't worry too much about optimizing for de-aversion. But if it is, maybe give it a try (and let us know how it goes!)

I like switching things up a lot in the gym. Sometimes I'll start with cardio and then move to strength training and other times I'll make it different. Other times I'll just swim. By keeping it different I keep wanting to go.
