When do you do it?
![[Deleted User]](https://wc.vanillicon.com/c49dee74a0f22ecb4753b34b022ef262_100.png)
I have been doing my runs first thing in the morning, i.e. getting up at 5.30am, to make sure I had enough time to complete most of my midweek runs before going to work. Today I decided to run after work. I had a stitch, my legs hurt, my lungs hurt and I hated it. I took all the necessary precuations like not eating for 2 hours before, having a small drink an hour before but to no avail. Has anyone else switched from early morning to evening runs and regretted it? I will give it a go for this week but I think I shall probabaly be setting my alarm early next week!!

I don't have a problem running mornings or evenings. Maybe it was just a bad day.
Like you I run early morning and feel much better than in the evening. I gave up the idea of evening runs a long time ago - I either talked myself out of it by the time I arrived home from work or felt dreadful during the run.
We'll just have to carry on feeling self righteous all day!
I don't know about feeling self righteous all day....shattered is a better way to describe my sorry self!!! My problem is that I used to run way back when I was young and always trained early morning. I came back to running as my 50th approaches just to recapture some of my slimmer youth and for the last few months I really enjoyed my early morning runs. I switched this week so that I could give myself time to fit in the longer mid week runs later in my schedule but I am beginning to think I should just get up that little bit earlier.
BTW there was a thread up in general the other day about some one wanting to organise a forum relay team. I thought you might like to add you knowledge.
I've run home from work which is about 13 miles, as it's better than struggling home on the train (often slower!) and then having to run.
Hi Becky,
I think my problem is that becuase I always used to train first thing in the morning some years ago I have convinced myself that this is the only time that is best. I have to be out of my house by 7.30am to drop my wife at the station before going on to work. I felt that getting up at 5.30am when I could be sleeping in for another hour wasd a waste of valuable sleeping time!! I think you are right its my personal preference so its back to early mornings, ho hum!
I am glad that you are taking sensible precuations by not running on your own at night though. Have you thought about using one of these forums to see if there are any other ladies who you could pair up with for some evening runs.
geezer do yo run? or just pop up on the forums every now & then for some kind of wierd kick
So how has the running been going on over the New Year? Did you manage to do some early am runs? I've been running but it's been hard work this week.
ps. I'm still waiting to see a picture of you on here.......
I have been very good, I got up and went for a run today. Only three miles but that was my scheduled run. I have uploaded a picture but I think it takes a while to get on screen. So what do you think about early morning runs v evening runs then?
How come you have time to post on here, why arn't you at work getting those files sorted!!!!!
Get back to work!!!!!!!!!!!
You slave driver!!! You know what they say "all work and no running......" (I just made that up but it sounds good doesn't it).
Anyway I did my training run after work....I'm getting there (slowly).
Just got to get ready for the long run at the weekend now.
See you next week my leader!
