Narrative:

I was completing the last round trip of six days of flying. My flight attendant had a maintenance item that was concerning and put a hold on boarding. Now I had ticket agents; ground agents and operations all hounding me to board. I had to call the maintenance item in and wait for someone to come out for that. My workload and task saturation was severely increased at this point. When it came time to do my job finally; we were able to complete our tasks after numerous interruptions. I did look over the entire release; weather and notams reviewing them with the first officer. When we arrived at our destination the agent told me the runway was closed and we needed to see how many passengers we could take. At this time I told her they were doing construction and it wasn't closed. I went back over the release and saw where the closer was buried in the end of the notams. I saw all the other information for the runway but missed the obvious. I noticed that we were planned by the dispatcher to land on that closed runway and did not catch it until after we had landed.the pressure and constant interruption from all the agents caused me to overlook something I normally would find. I did read the notams; but for some reason did not see where it said the runway was closed. This is why I checked off the arrival runway on the release thinking we were originally planned to land on a runway that was opened at the time of our arrival. I did not plan or intend to make this oversight; but simply let the distractions overcome me from seeing this clearly. The constant distractions and pressure the company puts on us to make turns or meet their metrics is becoming a problem that is trading safety for meeting metrics. It makes it harder for me to do my job safely when there is more than one person constantly putting pressure on you to make the aircraft move at all cost. The company during the initial brief does not have any first officer look at or even brief the notams for the arrival; enroute or departure city. It seems like they have not been trained to include this in their brief or I don't even know if they even are trained to look at them. This is something I have been noticing since the transition. This now places the sole burden on the captain to catch everything and takes away another set of trained eyeballs from going over the full release.
