The more I continue to run and train for distance races the more I am realizing what kind of runner I am and when I run the best. For me it seems my legs are freshest in the morning but everyone is different. So I asked my Twitter runner friends what they prefer. Here are their answers!

@FitHappyGirl First thing in the morning! Especially in summer when it’s cooler. Less chance of conflict, plus great start to my day :)0

@FitHappyGirl A morning runner! I like that the roads are empty & gives me more energy during the day. Downside? Early to bed is not easy!0

@FitHappyGirl I prefer to run in the evenings because I am the most hydrated. I get headaches in the morning.0

@FitHappyGirl I’m usually an evening girl during the week (not an early riser), and mornings on the weekend #runchat0

For other runners, it depends on the day and what they’re feeling like.

@FitHappyGirl For me, depends on the season, I love afternoon runs in winter when it’s warm/inviting, morning runs in spring. #runchat0

@FitHappyGirl In NY it was whenever. In TX I have to strategically plan my runs according to the temps. Don’t how the locals do it!#runchat0

I’m trying to host a Question of the Week Twitter chat every week. It’s simple, I ask the question and you answer. To get involved simply follow me on Twitter at @FitHappyGirl and be on the lookout for my question!
Also, if you didn’t participate this week feel free to post your answer in the comments section below. Are you a morning runner or night runner? Either way, run happy!
Fit Girl. Happy Girl. 
I’m definitely a morning person and like to run in the morning, however, I feel like I have better runs in the afternoon because my body is more awake and warmed up.
Very cool. I think afternoon runs are great when the weather is beautiful and I have no obligations for the day!
Fun idea for a post! My running time changes relative to the season. If it’s hot, I’m out at 5 am. But when it’s cold, I’ll try to go when it’s at it’s warmest. I love being able to get in midday runs for an energy boost. I love my early mornings to start the day (but am not a morning person at all) then I love the change of evening runs. I’m all over the place.
It’s different for everyone that’s why it’s so great that people share their running routine! I’m kind of the same way though, as a New Englander, the weather definitely dictates when I run.
I’m definitely a morning runner. I don’t like having to watch my eats all day (sensitive stomach), and I make excuses all day long. I like getting it over with and having more energy the rest of the day.
