Early morning running

Anyone actually manage?

Have been running for year's all of my adult life and at school (and I am still a porker)

I digress.

Have tried many times to run in the morning but just can't seem to crack it.

But I get up for work at 5:45 leave at 6:30.

So to get a decent run in that means getting our about 5am.

Meaning being up at probably 4:30/45.

Mehh just can't be arsed.

Any early runners?

I'm tempted to start, but it is mostly so that I can post smug facebook status updates

At our age can't be arsed to run but we walk maybe 8 t 12 miles a day not every day just depends what we have on but even if it's just 4 miles wich takes us about 45 mins we do it cos it's the best feeling in the world lol

I use to get up at 5am to walk /wobble and felt so much better for it, and had energy all day.

Unfortunately I've got back into a rutt and feel sluggish so need to kick my arse in gear!

Personally find it nicer in the morning than after work.

Being a soldier we love early morning runs.

Ok,

We're up early anyway so there's a particular way we do it.

I understand your lifestyle is very different but simply little changes can help,the main thing is time management and planning

1- up at 04:45

Shower etc ( shower lukewarm )

2- breakfast at 05:10 ( light breakfast ie bowl of cereal not sugar puffs lol followed by 2 slices of toast )

3-ten minuet pre run warm up 05:50 ( very important ) nothing to strenuous as this is only to loosen your muscles. Take in water!

4- do your run at pace to suit you and on a pre planned route (15 minute miles is a good start ) but don't push to hard. By sticking to a pre planned route you'll find it easier to track your times but take on water halfway on route.

5-finish off with a ten minute cool down to bring your muscles back to normal parameters as your pre warm up is there to stretch the muscle ready to exercise.

6-take on more water.

And finish off with (hot shower).

Other points to note is if your feeling a bit meh in the morning like we all do try finding a running buddy or simply download some good music to run to ( we find AC??DC thunderstruck album is awesome )

I know your not a soldier but I'd definitely recommend the

100% army fit app to help you along.

As you say work tends to cramp my style for early morning runs. But I reckon the benefits of long runs early doors with no food are great. Often did it when marathon training and doubtless will do for my 1st Ultra coming up soon.

I love running early to set up my day, very rare I do it now though. Need to get the habit going again, might join a local running club!

Right now I go swimming in the evenings and I find that I need to go in order to burn the extra energy I have, I'd love to go in the mornings but it's simply not feasible

I used to run in the mornings before work. I've been out of action due to ill health recently which is frustrating because I miss it a lot. Despite being up earlier, the days where I'd been for a run were always the days I felt the best

It's an odd one but to me I find the time of day reflects in my performance. Early doors run really well. After work and later in the evening pretty poor. Best 5km time was an early afternoon start. Unusual time indeed!!

Im just back from a lovely 15 miles 6am run session; some of the distractions on my miles are thinking about previous swinging meets and wondering just where the heck the early morning swingers are. All those lovely morning trails and fresh sunshine fields and no one else but us runners around.
