Is it better to run in the morning or in the evening?

Running is an excellent form of exercise and is basically suitable for everyone. There are very few restrictions on age and physical conditions. Therefore, we can see people running everywhere in our lives. There are people who insist on running in the streets and alleys. Running has a certain time limit. Some people like to run in the morning, and some people like to run at night. So, is it better to run in the morning or in the evening? Let’s take a look at the explanation below.

1. Professional athletes’ training is usually scheduled in the afternoon because the afternoon is the best time for the human body’s hormones, strength, and various reactions.

2. For ordinary people, the difference in the impact of early and late time on physical strength is minimal and does not require special consideration. The timing of exercise should be based on your own time and diet.

3. Avoid strenuous exercise close to bedtime. Excessive sweating, limbs being in an excited state before going to bed, and high body temperature will all reduce sleep quality. Before going to bed, you can relax your muscles through massage, yoga, etc., and do some stretching and relaxing exercises to promote sleep.

4. It is best to exercise one and a half hours after a meal, or at least one hour.

Don't run in the morning before the sun rises, and don't run in the evening after the sun sets. Why? Because we absorb a lot of oxygen when we exercise. There is a saying that plants exhale a lot of carbon dioxide after a night of metabolism, so the concentration of carbon dioxide in the woods is relatively high in the morning. In addition, the human body's basal metabolism is lower in the early morning, the blood sugar level is not high, and human blood pressure is higher in the morning. These all remind us that we should not do high-intensity exercise in the early morning.

The above is an explanation of whether it is better to run in the morning or at night. Generally speaking, night running is not recommended because night is the time when people go to sleep. If you run before going to bed, your brain will be in an excited state, which is not conducive to sleep and insomnia may easily occur. Therefore, morning running is the best option.
