Those who wake up early to run/jog??

Do you just throw on clothes and go??I am not a morning person at all but waiting until 6pm is killing me so I am gonna try and go in the a.m.

Re: Those who wake up early to run/jog??

Yes, my alarm goes off at 5:40, I am out of bed before 6, stretch for about 10 minutes since I'm usually pretty tight in the AM and off I go. I LOVE morning runs, it's so peaceful and I love seeing the sunrise and the kiddies go off to school, it energizes me for the day, and most importantly I'm done and can enjoy the rest of the day/evening!

The one downside, I'm usually exausted by 9-10pm and must go to bed to wake up the next morning. I need at least 6 hours sleep though.

I have done it a couple times...however I am not much a morning person either.

I normally sleep in my running clothes so all I have to do is get up and go. Sounds weird but it works!

I used to be a big morning person - I found it helped to sleep in my running clothes - then I had no excuses.


now the kids keep me up in the middle of the night that I can't do it...so I go late afternoon

i'm definitely not a morning person either, so i had to force myself for the first few weeks. now that i've gotten into a routine i really enjoy going in the morning. it's great to come home at night and be able to relax. i usually get up, eat half a power bar, have some water, change and go. it takes me about 25 minutes from the time i wake up to leave.

I am up every morning at 6:45am. I put on a pair of shorts, a t-shirt my sneakers and I am out the door. I don't run but I walk 2.5 miles 5 to 6 times a week
