i was wondering, is there any positive correllation between more sleep and better running? apparently our paula takes a nap in the middle of the afternoon, it would be nice to do that but.........
the thing which brought this on was hilly's comment tha he was out doing 16 miles at 7am, (power to you, btw) and the fact that Psi posts the "training session" threads, at just after 5am!!!!!! do oyu guys go to bed exceptionally early or are you semi-bionic? i'm not joking around here, but i'm a pretty late to bed guy, (12-1 oclock in the morning quite regularly) and i want to know if this is affecting my running.

And im sure it does NOT improve running
I think for seroius running you might end up needing more sleep
I run at 6 am, for work reasons, and am permanently tired
Started running last June and have staedily improved over the 6 months. Lots of rest (as above) and regular stretching may have had some positive impact on my improvements.
That or I am just a lazy bark!!
Unfortunately, real life gets in the way and 95% of the time, I find myself going to bed at close to midnight and having to get up at 7.00 (or even earlier). Oh well....
I sleep at least 8 hrs most nights and agree that lack of sleep is likely to have a negative affect on running. By the way I'm a she
Happy running and merry Christmas!
excellnt
Av night sleep 6-7 hours, 6out of 7 nights a week
my auntie who lives ind Derry city(about 90minutes from belfast by car) was going to budapest today on the 8am flight. she came to stay with us overnight so she wouldn't have to leave sooooo early the next morning........(anyone see where this is going?)
she discovered at 1.30 AM(yes, in the morning!!!) that she had forgotten a case, the vital one. and guess the mug who had to be he driving partner for her last night.(well, it wouldn't be anyone else if i'mn telling the tale of woe, would it?) <ME>
subsequently got into the house at 5am, and had to be at the track at 11am. i was somewhat tired for todays session....yes, indeed, and i think it was safe to say that i didn't perform to my usual standard. lol
happy sleeping everyone, thanks for the feedback, merry christmas eve eve!!!
