Have you ever stayed up till 1A.M or something to get a workout in because you have trouble getting up early

no. just get up early and get it done. i've learned this the hard way many times - it's almost always better to force yourself out the door before the day starts than to spend all day in anticipation. when i was younger i would sometimes double after dinner or something and those runs always SUCKED.

No.

Ya id say do it early in the AM you'll feel afterwards better getting it done and over with to move on to other tasks in your day.

In college I worked a job that was 7am-3:30pm during the summer and it was very hot that summer for where I live. Most of the days were in the 90's when I got off work, and I'm not much of a morning person so I wasn't going to wake up at 5am to get in a 10 mile run before work. So instead I would get off work at 3:30, go home and eat snacks and early dinner, take a long nap in the evening, and I'd go for my run once the sun went down around 10pm and would get the rest of my sleep from midnight to 6:30am and head to work. It was a grind that summer, I was running 80 mile weeks by the end of July/ early August before heading back to school and getting up to 90 miles per week before classes.

I've done that several times. I'm also not an early riser.

Actually, now I think about it, no I haven't.

Kind of.

20 years ago, I had summer jobs in highschool and college that started at 6 AM, meaning I had to be in work clothes and out the door at 5am.

Getting up at 3:30 AM just wasn't realistic for me so I normally worked 6 AM to 4 pm, went home, ate dinner and took a nap from 6-8, then ran 5-8 miles around 9pm.

During the summer, I still sometimes do weekday easy runs at 9 or 10 PM. Hardly any traffic, mild temps, less wind. I've occasionally done some 11 pm runs. I never run hard for late night runs though.

Never a morning person myself.

I wouldn't stay up until 1:00 to get in a workout for that day/date. Stupid in my opinion to be a slave of the calendar/clock.

Just run now and call it good.

During college, there were a few of us who worked retail during the summer. We worked till 9:00 met at 10:00 or 11:00 and went for our run then. Worked well.

I am a night owl and frequently went for runs at 10, 11, 12, or found myself running past midnight. Good times! ;-)

If I am running at 1AM it is because I waited for the temp to drop below 85.

No, never. I just get up early and get my run in or I do it later in the day but never at midnight to 3AM.

It's getting late , damn, might as well drink a little water and head out.

I did a workout and finished exactly at 12am. Except it was summer and it rained all day before I did the workout and i lifted right before. Ended up being one of my best speed sessions. I had to do it that day because i was racing a few days later and it went well. Idk where you are located but it probably went well for me because it was not humid out at all but then again that was in the summer.

Same, I often do runs 9/10pm. Basically hate doing anything before 12pm.

One time I did a long run around midnight. By the time I was done, it was probably around 1 am. That was when I was single, lived alone and could do whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. Now that I'm married, live with my wife, two kids and a dog, I run at 5 am before anyone else is up. If I don't, too much stuff constantly "pops up" and it'll never happen.
