When is the best time to run?

We all like running, but we don’t know when is the best time to run. If we don’t run at the best time, we may get half the result with twice the effort. So we need to know when is the best time to run? Today, let us find out when is the best time to run?

High-intensity exercise can be performed two hours after a meal; moderate exercise should be performed one hour after a meal; and light exercise is best performed half an hour after a meal. Based on this, several optimal exercise time periods can be deduced:

Morning time: 5:30-6:30 am from waking up to breakfast

Morning period: 2 hours after breakfast to 9:00-10:30 before lunch

Afternoon session: 2 hours after lunch to 14:00-17:00 before dinner

Evening period: 2 hours after dinner to bedtime 19:00-21:00

Running in the morning, when the human body performs strenuous exercise, can make the sympathetic nerves excited. This rapid change can cause a series of changes in the body and affect the mental state throughout the day, which is harmful to health. In addition, blood sugar is at a low level during this period. Exercise will consume a large amount of blood sugar, which can easily lead to symptoms of hypoglycemia. Exercise in the morning and afternoon is affected by objective factors such as going to work, work, and housework. Early exercise can lower blood sugar. The highest and lowest points of human physical strength are controlled by the body's "biological clock", generally reaching a peak in the evening. For example, the lowest point in the body's oxygen absorption is at 6:00 p.m.; the regulation of heart rate and blood pressure is most balanced between 5:00 and 6:00 p.m., and the body's sense of smell, touch, vision, etc. are also most sensitive between 5:00 and 7:00 p.m. Therefore, overall, exercising in the evening is more effective.

In addition, the activity of hormones in the human body is in a good state between 4:00 and 7:00 pm, and the body's adaptability and nerve sensitivity are also the best. Therefore, experts advocate exercising in the evening, but during the evening, you should pay attention to the intensity of exercise, otherwise too high intensity will excite the sympathetic nerves and hinder sleep.

From the above, we can know that people with hypoglycemia should not run in the morning. Because running in the morning will consume a lot of blood sugar, which is harmful to the body. For most people, the best time to run is between 4pm and 7pm, but for those who go to bed late, running at night is also a good choice. So everyone should choose the best running time that suits them!
