Going on a run in the morning is a good way to guarantee that your day can’t get any fucking worse.
When I was a regular runner I hated getting up in the morning but preferred running in the morning. I’m not really a morning person but the easiest way to beat the heat is to run as early as you can. Preferably before the sun comes up.
I stopped running years ago. It’s not too great for the knees. I’ve been walking instead. 10k steps a day minimum without the torture of running. Been much happier and very healthy as well
As someone who went on a run before breakfast this morning: I feel like the penguin on the right most of the time. I’m barely keeping up with my chores and social life, I reduced my working hours to 36 per week because 40 was too much. Being able to go on a run is one of the few things I am sort of keeping up with.
I run about 20 miles a week, but I absolutely cannot run first thing in the morning. There are just too many moving parts to coordinate and I have a terrible run every time I do it. I’d much rather run in the sun or wait for dusk than do it early in the morning.
