advice on mroning runs

im going to start doing morning runs..
have a few questions:

1)best on an empty stomach?
2)best to jog or run at different pace
3)distance and time out running

thanks for any advice mark.

 

Before running you should take something light. Eat an apple and drink maybe a half a cup of milk or water.3-5 miles would be a good run for mornings.

 

1) No. Where would you get your energy?
2) Mix it up.
3) Huh? If you mean distance OR time always try to beat your previous time.

 

thanks lads

 

Yeah, have something little to eat before your run like, oatmeal, a banana, some juice maybe.

 

im not sure but wouldnt u think you would have a whole load of unburnt energy from the meal that night because dont u not burn off any food wile ur sleeping? im not sure...

 

Your body burns energy while you're sleeping. If you don't, you're more than likely dead.

 

NO BANANA's before you go running it is way to heavy, you will get pain in the stomach

 

Befor you run eat a Chiff bar it helps burn your energy slowy so you wont get tired.:thumbsup

 

I usually have a banana before a run in the morning and it's fine. I don't find it too heavy at all and it doesn't impare my run at all.

 

A bannana if i remember correctly only takes something ridiculous like 5 -10 mins to digest. only thing about bannanas and milk for me is itd probably make me feel sick too ... mushy lol

 

Milk or any kind of dairy poduct before a workout is a bad idea. You will get extreme stomach pains and cramps.
I once had a grilled cheese an hour before a hard workout. Lets just say it was the first I ever couldn't finish a workout and had to throwup.

 

I usually jog on an empty stomach, with the exception of a bottle of water before the run, just because I don't have unlimited time in the morning (if I ate first, I'd have to wait like 20-30 mins to run) and I believe in the idea of burning stored up fats.

you shouldn't ever jog. that's for girls and pussies. run at a consistently challenging pace (80% or so).

distance is more important, since it's endurance, but you could mix it up a little.

recently, I've been struggling with motivation....my initial idea was 7 days a week but I only do like 4 because some days I'm just like '**** it'. any of you guys experience this? I gotta get something to think of that really motivates me, I guess.

 

i run 3 miles

i jog half a mile and then do short burst of sprints until the last mile where i try to go as hard and fast as i could

 

You should start jogging for 5-10 minutes as a warmup and also finish with a slow paced jog lasting around 5 minutes. So, please explain why you should never jog and why it's for "pussies".

Intensity is more important.
