Running better in morning or evening?

I know. It's been a while since I've blogged about anything. No excuses.

It's a lovely sunny day here in London. I've been staying indoors waiting for my brother's parcel to arrive so while I've been doing that, I've been lazing about.

I haven't been to the gym since.....probably the end of last year. And when I say the end, it means most likely before October. Though I had my excuses with working full-time here and there and the huge fact that the gym was too far away. I feel I've been lacking.

So today - I've been influenced by the good weather and have decided to put myself back on schedule to get fit before my holiday in about three weeks. I'm a bit unsure about travelling into central to use the gym there so I may just do daily jogs outside in the early mornings or late evenings.

Just did a little googling search to try to find out if it's better to run in the early morning or in the evening. Nice little debate there. I found an article on Running Times which suggests running in the evening is easier and our lungs work better around this time. Morning not so much - but wouldn't that mean that you put your body to work harder in the mornings? Looking at everyone's preferences in the comments below of the article, evening or nighttime runs are most popular.

I used to run in the mornings and had no problems with it. Though I was never a morning person. I've never tried running in the evening. Perhaps I might try today and see how I feel. Better start getting fit or I'll never get myself into it!
