Running after work

I work in an office so i am sat down most of the day so not physically demanding but it is a stressful job, i am finding that my runs i do after work are so much harder and my body feels so different and really tense. Runs on my days off are so different i feel calm and full of energy. Is the possible reason for this my mood after work or the fact that evening runs are generally harder than morning runs?

I have no answers but feel exactly the same. I only get to run in the morning on a weekend day and the other two are around 5.30/6pm. I find i just feel shattered on these and every step is such hard work 😓

I run in the evenings, workdays or weekend, and I usually find the weekend harder. I don't know why, I should be more relaxed, but for me it's the opposite

For me later runs are harder than earlier ones and if i run in the morning on a day off I don’t feel bogged down with food but i don’t have enough days off so persevereGood luck running and enjoy it
