I always feel like crap during my morning runs. I'll wake up, have some cereal, and 30 minutes later I'm out the door. My muscles feel way tighter and breathing much more fatigued than my runs at night. Any ways I an feel better and more relaxed on my morning runs?
I dunno man, I always feel good in the mornings but I also don't run at night. Also, I'm a morning person. Maybe you're just not a morning person?
I've had the same issues w/ morning running. The thing that I've found to help is taking a hot shower pre run. Sometimes I'll stretch a bit in there, it helps loosen up cold, stiff muscles.
It's a PITA taking a shower right before and right after I run, but I feel like my performance is close to my afternoon or evening runs when I do this.
Good luck!
Wake up 1-2 hours before your run?
Have a 15 minute w/u jog that you don't consider part of your run?
Accept that you will run more slowly and enjoy your slower easy runs?
Never understood why people eat something before they go running in the morning. Then again I always preferred night.
A hot bath or shower does help if at first you're not feeling up to it.
You're dehydrated.. You should want to piss like a racehorse in the morning when you get up and then go run..
Don't eat but drink some water and go run. Within 2 weeks you're used to it.
What if you need to take a dump? That can take some time(and food) in the morning to get going. Don't want that feeling in middle of a run.
