    Same as me, but I would like to try running in the morning sometime. Its just that I dont wake up that's why I end up running in the evening. To be able to run in the morning, when everyone else is asleep shows a lot of discipline in your part.

    As far as running in the evening goes, your body is tired from the activities you did the whole day so I guess your pushing your body.

    It's not about discipline for me. I'm up at 6 am wether I need to be somewhere or not. I just get more out of my runs if I wait until the afternoon or evening.

    No, it doesn't. Running on an empty stomach will just make you feel twice as tired, and that's about it. It's breakfast which gets your metabolism going in the morning, I can't see how your idea of not eating would work.

    I usually grab breakfast immediately when I get up (pretty light), then go for my 1/2 hour run 30-60 min after. I have never had a problem doing this as long as I keep my breakfast pretty light. I would like to wait slightly longer but I can't with my schedule. It seems like ever since I started running in the morning I have more energy throughout the day.

    Night. I was never a morning person, and coming from where I come from you can NOT run during the day for a good 7 months of the year these days, at least.
