Twitter chat: Morning or night runner?

Posted on by

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!

  2. Some runners (like myself) feel best running in the morning like these guys.

    @FitHappyGirl I’m usually up by 415 out of house by 445/450. about 20-25 min drive depending what I’m doing. So, yes! Die by 930@night. Ha

    Why not?

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

    @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!

    @FitHappyGirl Night – just feels calmer, cleaner and more natural to me!

    @FitHappyGirl night because mornings are from the devil (disclaimer: watched The Waterboy last night).

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

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

  16. 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. #runchat

    @FitHappyGirl both! I prefer evenings but do mornings when I have something after work

    @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!#runchat
