Long runs at midnight

Go by what it logs it as on strava.

start the run at midnight so you can be on the top of the letsrun leaderboard

If you ran and no one could see you in the dark you didn't run. It doesn't count at all.

Abort mission!!! All of the Europeans that run early in the morning already logged in their mileage for today :(

I like to do my long runs around 12-1 am because the weather is perfect, but if i do them at them time and then come home and go to bed does it count as a long run for the current day or the previous day, or does it not even matter at all

Yes.

does it count as a long run for the current day or the previous day,

-1/11

cheers.

Count it as the day on which you woke up. So unless you sleep like 4 pm to midnight or something, it counts for the previous day. In effect, the day actually begins at 6 am or whatever time you wake up.

Troll post, but false anyway. The weather is not perfect, barring rare exceptions to where you might live that I can't think of. That time would be 4-6 am, when the air has had the longest time to cool off.

NYRR considers the Midnight Run, which starts at exactly 12:00am on Jan 1 to be run during the previous year for 9+1 purposes. So I'll give NYRR the benefit of the doubt and make that the official answer to the question.

Seriously? You need other people to tell you what day to credit this run to? You're that indecisive?

You seem to think that "perfect" means "the coldest hours of the day."

You are wrong.

Start at 11:45 and then count it for both. Consecutive days with a long run. You're a badass.

That's being way too generous.

Does it not even matter? Of course it does not even matter. Nothing matters. This is the age of nihilism after all.

During hot summers he is right.

My wife would never allow it.
