When is the best time to run?

Nowadays, more and more people like to run after get off work or when they are taking a break. This not only relieves fatigue from a day's work but also helps them maintain their health. However, although there are many people who run in life, not many people know much about this sport, which reduces the benefits that running brings to the body. So, when is the best time to run?

Many people are used to getting up in the morning to run and exercise, which is a very correct approach, because the period before breakfast is the best time to jog.

Generally speaking, carbohydrates are consumed as energy in the first 20 minutes of jogging. After 20 minutes, fat begins to be burned as the second energy source. Therefore, we generally believe that aerobic exercise needs to last for 20 minutes or more to have the effect of burning fat.

However, when we wake up in the morning, a lot of carbohydrates have been consumed as energy during sleep, so if we run at this time, the fat in the body can be burned immediately as the first energy source. In other words, it can shorten the time before fat burning, allowing you to lose more fat in the same running time.

It is true that running in the morning can greatly enhance the effect of fat burning. It is really painful to get up early in the morning, especially in the cold autumn and winter when it is even more difficult to resist the "sleepiness demon". It may be very difficult to persist every day.

Running before meals

As for jogging, besides getting up early in the morning, it actually has good effects before meals.

After the previous meal is finished, after a period of time, the food is almost digested, and fat will be used as energy when fasting. If you run at this time, it will become easier to burn fat.

At the same time, after exercise, the body and mind calm down and the metabolism returns to normal. Even if you eat something at this time, fat is not easy to accumulate, so it is more appropriate to run before meals.

After reading the editor’s introduction, everyone has a clear understanding of when is the best time to run. Therefore, running at this time is not only helpful for physical health, but also brings great enjoyment to the mind. So if possible, try to run during this time.
