I prefer to go in the morning as it makes me feel good for the rest of the day but sonetimes life (or should I say work!) gets in the way so I have to fur my run in later in the day 😉

I prefer evenings (when it’s still light) as I can run off any stress or anxiety from the day 💛

I’m an afternoon/evening runner... whatever fits your life and feels best.

It’s whatever works best for you. I tried running in the morning but late afternoon and evening suit me much better.

Everyone has their preference. Mine is early morning. I find, at the moment, there are fewer people about and it sets me up for the day. I also find I don't sleep well if I run in the evening.

I do both and enjoy them in different ways. Experiment and see what works best for your motivation and lifestyle!

Mid morning for me- whilst I’ve still got some energy, or late afternoon before teatime to put a spring in my step after work(ing from home). I have also run in the dark, which was lovely.
