Morning or evening run?

[George24]

Morning all,

Just wondered as a newbie, is running morning or evening better? Or how many of you run best in mornings or evenings?

Thanks 🏃🏻‍♀️

Personal preference. If I’m not at work I tend to run in the morning. Otherwise it’s after work either on my own or with club. I know people who hate running in the morning.

I work full time so I’m worried if I tried a morning run it would drain me?

Best idea is to try one and see how it goes. Take it slow and steady, as always. Maybe try it just before a day off, so if it does prove wearing you can have extra rest the next day ? A lot of morning runners find they feel more energised afterwards, so you may surprise yourself ! Have fun out there 😀

I think I thought that too. Now I run longer distances I think a short run would be ok before work but I know what you mean.

Always run first thing...5 o clock generally. I find it sets my day up. I’m usually too tired after a full days work.

I run early because I don't like people on the pavements lol. No one sees me when I go out early.

It all depends on the person. Running in the morning before work can really energize you for the rest if the day. As sometimes people are too tired after work. On the other hand there is people who don't mind running after work . Try both and see what suits you best 😊

I like to run in the morning, that way I can’t talk myself out of it through the day 😂

Early morning for me. Nothing to eat before I go out, then a light breakfast around half an hour after I get home before heading to work.

I chose the morning at first simply to avoid being seen, but I am a lot less worried about that now.
