Physical activity is a life saver for me, it allows me to release energy that would otherwise cause trouble down the line.

If you can handle running 5 miles, you can handle that terrible refactoring task you discovered this morning.
As a person who did 21km run in fasted state (didn't eat for 36 hours before) and then swam in a 7 degrees pond with ice, I can definitely say: NO.

I tried for 8 hours straight to code just a little bit, but was unable to. I guess that is burnout, or, in general, understanding that I am not interested in all this computer stuff anymore after doing it for 15 years.

Yeah, the other stuff sounds like more fun to me as well :)
