Is there a best time to go running?

You can carry on with your silly posts all night. Alwyn Cosgrove is world-renown for what he does. Whether what he said in that post I made is accurate I don't know. What I do know is you don't get to where he is by being wrong, like you say he is.

Yet again my point is he has experience and ideas which actually work. It makes no difference whatsoever if you know more about physics, his stuff works, which has been my point all along.

I couldn't be bothered to keep repeating the same stuff so I'm done.

I'd consider Biomechanics to be 'true Physics', it's not as if it's just made up.


Anyway pointless argument in relation to this thread. The guy isn't concerned about losing fat, so he should eat before he goes running.
Aerobic exercise cathabolises protein 4 times as quickly as anaerobic, so it's vital he gets some carbs into him before he does his running otherwise he'll suffer reductions in muscle mass.

 

Which is pretty much what I heard.

I'm not expert.. But my trainer says there is no "time". As long as you're motivated to do it at that time in your regimen, then you're good.

In truth this first part is wrong. You start burning fat after about two minutes. when your worout becomes aerobic. from then on you burn fat untill you overwork and burn muscle. The reason to run in the morining is the same reason your breakfast is supposed to be your biggest meal. Because it jumpstarts your body, brain and metabolism. And the best way to burn fat is to run when its coldest, because your body is burning more calories to keep the temp up. if you run while it's hot you burn them more slowly so you don't overheat.. My advice to everyone is if you have the option, run in the morning

 

I like to do it in the morning with just coffee in my stomach. It kicks starts the day and if i'm able to get off my ass and run, then i won't feel like a completely fat ass. Also I heard it's best to run in cold weather (can't remember the reasoning behind it)

 

Depends on what you are running for. Since you are on ESB, the "best" time to go running is... far enough from your skill training for your body to recover.

Your body runs more efficiently in the morning (when you first wake up). That means you actually get LESS bang for your buck on a building/calorie burn perspective. At the same time this will leave you fresher for evening boxing workouts.

For a boxer the focus is skills. So morning running makes sense.

 

So true. Like they say in farming. "The best time to plant crops is... Last year!"

So the best time to run is when you can.

You over think this stuff way too much. The difference in calories burned over the time of the day will be very small, pointless to even think about.

Seriously, I think everyone is bored of hearing this crap. I really don't care if your smarter than me, makes no difference to me whatsoever. You really are over-complicating this whole thing in a bad attemped to sound smart. To lose body fat - eat less and do sprints. Alter the amount you eat and the amount you sprint accord into your results. Simple as that.
