What time is best for running?

Running is a suitable sport for both young people and middle-aged and elderly people. Although running is a relatively healthy sport, there are actually many things to pay attention to. For example, how much distance is better to run every day, or what time of day is better to run? Running at the right time will achieve twice the result with half the effort. Regarding some issues in this regard, I will discuss them in detail below.

For runners who want to lose body fat, jogging in the morning on an empty stomach is best. The reason why we often say that aerobic exercise should last for more than 30 minutes is because the body consumes glycogen in the first 30 minutes. To put it simply, glycogen is a substance evolved from food. If you run on an empty stomach, you will naturally reduce the time of glycogen consumption, allowing the body to enter the fat-burning stage faster.

A foreign study has shown that compared with walking after breakfast (burning 216 calories), walking before breakfast (burning 298 calories) can increase fat burning ability by about 33%.

Some girls would complain about being grumpy or having low blood sugar if they go running without eating breakfast. In fact, because the blood concentrations of glucagon, cortisol, etc. in the body are higher in the morning, there is no risk of hypoglycemia at all. However, for those who usually have blood sugar diseases, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular problems, it is not recommended to run on an empty stomach.

Many people say that exercising at night is most effective, and the weight loss the next day is always so obvious. In fact, everyone selectively ignores the fact that they have “no food intake” for the entire night. Even if they do not exercise, they will still lose weight when they weigh themselves the next morning. The effect of exercising at night is not much different from that at other times, except that the body can get a better rest after exercise, and the muscle groups torn during exercise can be better repaired.

Well, the editor has clearly explained above the question of what time period is better for running, and also clearly explained the reason behind it. In the future, friends might as well follow the editor’s advice when running. Since you have put in the sweat, there should be a reward. If you run in the right way, your body will certainly be healthier. Everyone must use the correct time to exercise.
