Hi everyone, this might seem a silly question but Iv never ever done this before, I was wondering if it’s best to do a jog/ run in the morning or evening? Or does it really matter? I’m m 46 n very unfit! Any advice??

Hi Chewy73, firstly you’ve done such a great thing for yourself, starting C25K and joining this amazing forum. 👍👊 Welcome! 😀
As regards what time to run, it’s purely personal preference/convenience. I only run in the mornings, some only run in the evenings, some mix it up. So experiment and see what you prefer, it really doesn’t matter. 👍
Good luck, you’re going to love this. 🏃♀️🏃🏃♀️🏃
I run in the evening before dinner I’m 54 and never run before. I’m now on run 1 week 4 so if I can do it so can you.

Find a time, get ready and go, we started early evening then on a day off went out first thing in the morning and hated it, now we run when we have time and it works, good luck

It's entirely up to you. I find if I run late afternoon/evening I can't get to sleep, but that's just me.

The best time to run is the time when you are under minimal time pressure, feeling like a challenge and haven't recently eaten.
What time of day that happens to be is a very individual thing.
Early morning runs have always been my favourites.

Not at all silly. I always thought "morning, morning"....then I realised it was best..."when I could fit it in". If I can't do the run when planned I have stopped thinking...ok well that's it then. If I have a chance later on...I just go. You will get posts from every walk of life who will just say " fit it in with your life!" If you can make a routine so it is a habit, great, but then be prepared to change when you need to. Good luck. 👍
