What about running at night?

Speaking of running, it is already a commonplace topic. The sport of running has permeated into all of our lives, and as a result, people are paying more and more attention to issues. For example, the way of running, the posture of running, and the time of running have all become issues of concern to people. So let’s take a look at one of the issues today. What will happen if you run at night?

Compared to getting up in the morning to go running, it is better to go running in the evening, but the premise is that it should not be too late. It is usually between 4 and 6 p.m., when lunch is almost digested and before dinner. Eating too full is very unfavorable for running, so never run after a meal.

If you feel that you don’t have enough energy before running, you can supplement with some liquid food or monosaccharide food. When you run, your body's physiology and biological clock are already in a resting time zone. Not only does it not promote sleep, but it will make the brain excited, resulting in poor sleep quality and inability to enter a good deep sleep state. This is why even though you only ran for 15 minutes, it completely affected the quality of your rest.

Sports medicine has proven that when you just wake up in the morning, the functioning of the human organs is still at a low level. Exercising at this time is more dangerous for people with weak cardiovascular function. The human body's ability to move is fully developed at night, so when running at this time, the body can more easily adapt to the rhythm of exercise.

In terms of the external environment, the latest research shows that the carbon dioxide index in the air is highest in the early morning, and the dust suspended in the air the day before has not completely disappeared. Exercising at this time is far less good than at night.

In addition, the slight fatigue caused by moderate exercise at night needs sweet sleep to relieve it, which greatly improves the quality of sleep after exercise. Therefore, it is unreasonable to worry that exercise will affect sleep.

From this, the question of what will happen if we run at night has an answer. Running at night is still very beneficial to us, but we must pay attention to details and methods. Don’t run blindly according to your own wishes. Only by using the right method can we get real results.
