5 Surprising Reasons You Should Run In The Morning

[@pauljknight75]

I love going for a run in the morning on the weekends. Week days I'm unable because I have to get up at 4am for work. But on the weekends it's a must. Sets me up for the whole day. Love it.

Thanks for sharing!

What is your job my guy?

[@pauljknight75]

@@lukemorris111 I work in a warehouse.

I used to be a running commuter during the colder months, and biking during the warmer months. I always felt energized, even when running during sub zero temps. Now that I'm retired I enjoy coffee and walking in the early morning, then run and or do a gym workout mid afternoon.

[@SHEVALDINI]

This is exactly what I needed to motivate myself keep on running these cold days. Thank you. For the first time in my life I didn’t stop running trainings for cold period.

[@jonatanolsen37]

My runs feels the best on a empty stomach, so it makes sense to run in the morning before breakfast :)

[@Tippel3]

Loved the shots of you running in the snow in the woods! Weirdly enough I'm a morning runner too. But I am not a morning person at all. But I realised it can actually give me energy for the day instead of takin it away. Don't know how that works but it does. As someone with chronic depression running in the morning also helps my mood a lot. Jut the part to get my butt out of the door can be a challenge. But since I can't eat before running, I will go out in case I want to eat breakfast. So weird because I'm a night owl, hate mornings, don't want to see anyone and don't want to move. But somehow that works.

[@stuarthys9879]

It’s very motivating seeing you run in the snow and sun! My problem is it’s dark and wet in the morning, so I prefer evening runs!

[@clipper6429]

Loved this video... I go for my run after I finish the school drop off and you're so right about starting the day with a win!

[@MikiKrejci]

I made habit to transfer myself to work by bike or running and I am shifting it during the week so I do not have to run twice per day. Works for me - no over training. I am looking forward to spring when I can go to work during sun rise. Now days it is in dark and cold with head lamp. I can see here one disadvantage - I use my hype from running for employer and than is less left for my 4 kids and wife at afternoon. When I run from work I am much more relaxed and easy going at home 😃 But you are totaly right, colleagues, which go by bus/car are far from awake until 8am. If my morning run counts to my office work hours- that would be HUGE benefit!

[@Swedentrails]

Nice Göran! Funny thing, this autumn, using my employers proactive health promotion (we have 30min per day) finally got me back running on my sweet trails again!

[@jassaljs]

We have a running friendly office. Two serious full marathoners and rest half and 10k! This has led to a very happy office🤗

[@adventuredogs8773]

Particularly loved this video, thanks for the awesome reminder and inspiration Goran 😊

[@jk6561]

So true, but in a lot of businesses being seen to be at your desk is important to some employers even if the employee is not productive. I cycle to work sometimes and that is uusally uphill with a headwind so counts!

[@bardongalang32]

That's what I've been doing for the past (going to 2 years) now, run before I go to work. I always try to sneak in 30, 45 minutes to 1 hour run, take a cold shower and work. Even if my shift is set to 2 pm, I still manage to run. Sometimes after a race, 10K, half mary or a marathon, I still go to work 😅 🏃

[@tinalewis6782]

Fabulous video! I'm sharing this one, for sure! 🌄

[@barriehobbs4533]

Not so sure about all this although I appreciate we are all different. Firstly, I think the secret to a successful day lies in tackling the stuff you really don't want to do first: It makes the rest of the day go easier and since running is what I want to do leaving it to later as a reward makes sense. Secondly, during the winter at least, i'm at or on my way to work when the sun rises and running before dawn is really depressing. Thirdly, I understand there are plenty of studies suggesting physical exercise is most difficult early in the morning due to blood thickness and other issues. You would know more about that than me. However, in terms of quality I can't believe there are too many top athletes who do their quality workouts straight out of bed and not too many world records get set as the sun is coming up. I'm certainly not a top athlete but my 5k and 10k bests are all evening races.

[@DegenGaming]

I run very early in the morning. Usually between 03 and 04:00. The best thing is that nobody is awake so I can piss almost anywhere I want. It's nice not having to find a bathroom! 🤣

[@dimitar297]

Why don't you urinate before leaving the house what's wrong with your bladder.

[@kduty236]

I once woke up at 3:30 am and it was still pitch black and the streets were empty. Did a 25k long run. Just empty streets feel like a different world 😂. But I used to wake up at 4:30 and start running at 5:30

[@missingmimic]

Morning runs is where it's at 😊

[@eliot9217]

You should do a video about how to do double runs/trainings while avoiding injuries.

[@lucvandriel2408]

the one part of winter that sucks is that you wake up in the dark. drive to work in the dark, sit in office during the day, drive home in the dark. There is very little sun in general due to the weather but no matter what happens you wont see it for about 6 months in a year.

[@willemrood]

Starting to run to the office has been very nice, indeed feel much better during the whole day. However it's getting a bit boring running the same route over and over again (Ring 2 Oslo), so also important to switch things up every now and then!

[@robboddice9418]

Finland calling. Where are you finding all the amazing light in this video in Norway? Please send some of it over here, would you?

[@Pih_TV]

I wish I could do morning runs. But then I have to do it at 4AM. So I'll stick with evening runs :D

[@RunAllTheMiles]

Logistically running in the morning makes the most sense for me but my body prefers me to run later in the day as I'm more stiff in the morning, especially in winter. At the moment I'm ignoring my body and running morning....

[@therangersinger]

You are in your 40s aren't you....don't worry...I am too 🤣

[@RunAllTheMiles]

​@@therangersinger yep lol

[@lankymario7189]

if only i can wake up early enough!!

[@kduty236]

because vehicle pollution in the afternoon is at its peak in my opinion

[@kduty236]

Especially in countries with the most dense populations

[@karolf1690]

That was some nice pun at the end where you said "eggcercise" :P Was it intended?

[@Jaqaroo]

The main thing I can take away from the video is that Goran can juggle 3 eggs, while making a video...!

[@p5u1k]

At sunrise i am already at my job. I run most of the time in the evening.

[@SuperFuzzyDunlop]

Three things I refuse to do in an attempt to improve my times: 1. Lose an unhealthy amount of weight 2. Take banned PEDs 3. Get up super early to fit a run in before work Everything else is fair game

[@shubhamdubey11]

I am a big fan of running. I have done running in the past. I have a swing shift (late-evening to super early morning i.e 7 PM to 4 AM). I don't find a lot of guidance on the best time to run. Is it possible that you can share your opinion on this?

[@eloipereira]

@goranwinblad Do you run while fasting, or do you have food before? If so, what kind of food? I really want to start the habit of running in the morning, but I always feel low in energy halfway through my run.

[@iknowyouwanttofly]

Is 30 min the min time to get a boost or would for example 10 min 3 times a day give more mental boost?

[@kubaaczniak9813]

What about intervals or other hard trainings? Do you also recomend to do those in the morning?

[@keeskip4589]

Does the diagonal extractor hood do a good job removing the smell of the food?

[@richardknowles8653]

Or a morning ski.

[@NorwegianBrotherhood]

do you eat anything before your morning runs?

[@trjozsef]

*angry man shaking fists*

[@juliuskazakevicius698]

Hi, do you run in the morning on the empty stomach? If so, is there a load limit?

[@noone-ld7pt]

I think muscle glycogen storages will keep you going for over an hour even on an empty stomach, so anything but a long run should be completely fine. And even then you'll just start burning fat instead, but it'll obviously be significantly more uncomfortable at that point when you hit the famous wall.

[@ambiguousheadline8263]

I recently did a 19 mile long run in the morning without any fuel or anything and felt fine. Wasn't even hungry afterward. I think if I had to go another hour I would probably start to get uncomfortable but for me at least I've never experienced issues with that on any run/workout in the morning

[@juliuskazakevicius698]

Thanks for sharing.
