When is the best time to run?

Nowadays, many people like to lose weight by running. Those who like to lose weight by running must warm up before running. Also, try not to run on an empty stomach as this can easily lead to fainting. Wear sports shoes when running as this can help with running. When running, don't compare yourself with others, run according to your own physical strength. So when is the best time to run? Here is some information I have collected, let’s take a look.

Running time

Fitness running exercises are generally best scheduled in the morning, followed by around 9 am and around 5 pm. Middle-aged people usually schedule exercise in the morning due to work. Firstly, it does not conflict with work; secondly, the air is fresh when running in the morning, which is good for the respiratory system. In addition, people's physical strength is restored after sleep, but physiologically speaking, people are still in a certain state of inhibition. Exercising in the morning helps to excite the nerves, boost the spirit, promote metabolism, and is very beneficial for maintaining sufficient mental and physical strength for a day's work.

Some people also believe that the oxygen content in the morning is lower (plant respiration), the air is fresh but contains fewer inhalable particles, and people’s mental state is best in the evening, so exercise should be done around five to six in the evening.

It is not advisable to run before or after meals. Running after a meal or eating immediately after running will cause a decrease in gastric acid secretion, affecting the digestion of food, which will cause stomach problems over time. It is generally better to exercise one hour after a meal. Running before going to bed is not a good exercise. Exercising before going to bed will put the cerebral cortex in a highly excited state, resulting in adverse reactions such as dreaming or difficulty falling asleep. However, it is not advisable to do high-intensity exercise on an empty stomach in the morning. If the distance of a long run is relatively long, you can first drink a small cup of sugar water or eat a little snack.

The above is the best time to run. Be sure to keep warm when running, otherwise you will easily catch a cold. Try not to run in foggy weather, as this is very bad for your body. Try to keep yourself in a good mood when exercising, which will help your running. Also, never run when you are in a bad mood, as this will easily lead to injury during running.
