I wonder how other people train. Are there other "extra early" morning runners like my running partner and me? Is there a consensus on the best time of day to run? I would love some feed back. So if you're reading this, Arctic Strides would like to know - when's the best time of day to run and how do you get over the afternoon slump?
Arctic Strides: Running Alaska is a journal of my life’s runs and ambitions. This is a story of my achievements and struggles as I run toward my goals of health, spirituality and mental wellness. I hope that by the end of it all I will have evolved into a better person.

Too Early?
Wednesday morning - it's 4:30 and I am already hustling and bustling around the house grabbing this and that before I head out the door for an extra early morning run. I never feel like it's too early to head out until about twelve hours latter. When the afternoon comes and all I can think about is taking a nap.

While I am not a runner, I am impressed with your motivation. I myself would find this to be way to early considering your hectic schedule. I would think about changing my running to late evening, get in a good run, shower and then a restful sleep.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea - if only I had that kind of time. With work, family, and school it is hard to fit it all in.
DeleteI'm right there with you - 5:00am is my sweet spot! Only time of day that is consistently mine. Kaladi's run at 2:00pm for latte helps me through the afternoon.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bob - I'm not a coffee drinker, but an 8oz dose of sugar free RedBull offten does the trick for me.
Deletenice post. I am a 5:30 am runner and love getting my workout done before most wake for the day. Make sure you get enough sleep
ReplyDeleteThanks for for your comment - sleep has been tough to prioritize these days, but I am working on it.
