Morning Vs Evening run!?!

I'm completed W7R3 and everything is going great! I'm running first thing in the morning, around 6.30 but I'm thinking of trying an evening run....I'm just worried I won't have the same energy as I do first thing......any feedback on what works for you would be great! X

I’ve done both but much prefer an early run esp when it’s warm - also I’ve got more motivation in the am. If I left it too late in the day I’d worry that I’d find an excuse not to go!

I have tried all times of day and although I suspect that performance is slightly better mid morning, nothing beats an early morning run before work and nothing is quite as tough as an evening run after a hard day at work.

It is very personal.

I love the mornings, cooler and quieter. I just would not go out to run in the evening, now it's too warm and lots of people around. I might try evenings in the autumn when the clocks change

I've tried both morning (approx 7:30) and evening (late, approx 9pm) and I've decided I prefer the late evening. I'm not naturally a morning person and struggled with feeling low in energy. Because I'm more of a night owl I still have energy at 9pm but I'm sure others would feel the opposite. I haven't tried early evening because I'm in a residential area of a city and it is too busy with people outside to try and avoid.

I'd recommend giving different times a try and see what works for you 🙂
