I run a lot slower at night, even though I feel like I am cruising. But I do love a good night run on a relay - it's not the same as doing a training run around town though. There are enough people around that it isn't so lonely, though I have been out in the middle of nowhere by myself, and that was a bit freaky. One person was chased by a badger out there. I think my favorite is early morning after the sun has come up. That’s funny. I run a lot slower at night, even though I feel like I am cruising.

An experiment was conducted where a runner ran an hour at 8:30 min/mile on consecutive days, one at 53 degree temperatures and the next at 90 degrees. “On the hot run, my heart rate, temperature, and sweat loss spiked to levels that diminish performance while increasing health risks” I can totally relate from a run just the other day and another reason why I prefer running at night.

I just feel so gross and sluggish in the morning - have never really liked working out then. One thing is that it gets hotter and hotter as you go, whereas at night it gets cooler and cooler (though the darkness creeps in too). Good discussion about the debate!

Running shorts will be next on my list of products to review :) You must run really early in the morning for it to still be dark..watch out for those drunks, lol! @diana I can understand the necessity to run in the early mornings or late at night bc of the heat. It's starting to heat up over here in CA too. @Matt Good to hear that heat is never a problem in the UK, makes me want to run over there! I agree that it feels better to run later. But I have to watch what junk food I'm eating during the day now or else I'll still feel sluggish during that night run after work! @Carl I'd be running like the wind too if I knew a dog was chasing me! Maybe I should just bring a dog to chase me during every run, I'd be a superstar! @triAlien I just had my frist night run today and had an and it was awesome! I felt alright, but ran the fastest time (27:11, 4 miles) since I started running again. I think I'm with you in running at night from now on!

Not so much because of the weather (around here is the same to run in the morning or at night), my main reason is because I don't seem to work so well early in the mornings, I feel really sloooooow, so I rather run at night.

It is still dark out when I do my morning runs. I completely understand the fear factor. A dog startled me Friday morning and definitely helped increase my speed.
