How long is a good time for a morning run?

Everyone knows that running is the simplest sport and it is also a very good aerobic exercise. Running has many benefits to physical and mental health, especially it has a good effect on weight loss. Usually, people run in the afternoon or evening. In addition, some people get up early and go out for a morning run. This is indeed a good habit. So what is the best time for a morning run?

How long is a good time for a morning run?

First of all, when you just wake up from sleep, your body temperature is low, especially the joint capsule cannot secrete lubricating substances well. Doing high-intensity sports such as running will cause joint strain!

Secondly, when you just wake up in the morning, the functioning of the human organs is still at a low level. Exercising at this time is more dangerous for people with weak cardiovascular function. Sports medicine has proven that running early in the morning increases the possibility of blood clots forming in blood vessels, which can easily lead to vascular embolism because the blood's cohesion increases by 6%. In addition, the increase in blood pressure, heart rate and acceleration are large, which can easily lead to overload and affect exercise effects and health.

Not only that, from the perspective of the external environment, the latest research shows that morning is the time of day when the carbon dioxide concentration in the air is the highest and the haze is the most serious. Morning jogging at this time can easily cause respiratory diseases. It is recommended that runners jog in the morning after the haze has dissipated.

It is worth mentioning that there is a question that has been controversial among runners: should you run on an empty stomach in the morning? I want to tell you that blood sugar is low when you wake up early. If you are fasting or do a high-intensity morning run, it is easy to cause hypoglycemia, but you can't eat too much when doing a morning run. It is best to replenish some energy before a morning run, and remember to eat breakfast after the morning run.

Therefore, to sum up, I think the best time for morning jogging is about an hour after getting up (get up at 7 o'clock). At this time, the human organs have basically resumed normal functioning, the fog in the air has dissipated, and the air is fresh. At the same time, one hour is enough to have a simple meal, and then go for a run and enjoy the fun of a morning run.

Of course, some running friends will ask: "Is this time absolutely accurate?" In response to this question, the young man believes that no matter how long it takes to get up, as long as he does not have any adverse reactions after running, this time is correct. There is no absolute "best" time, only the most suitable time.
