Can't do workouts in the morning!

Can you already do recovery or easy-pace runs in the morning?

You might wanna do extended warm up starting with recovery pace gradually moving to easy pace, in 15 - 20' so before starting the workout. My HR often jump to much for even easy pace in the first 10' before it settling down. Starting with dynamic stretching, brisk walk and gradual increasing pace avoid the HR jump.

You might want to establish easy-only morning runs for a few weeks until they become part of daily routine.

Drink lots of coffee and extra long warm up.

I wake up at least 3 hours before race start times and immediately do a 1-mile jog with strides (usually on the treadmill if one is available). Then have breakfast and coffee afterward. Makes a big difference.

At this point I am thinking of just stopping doing workouts in the morning and getting up at like 4am race day to make it seem like it's not so early (since I'll be up 3 hours).

That's what I would suggest.

No need to make all of your workouts bad.
