Many think that there is an ideal time to run, and in fact, the reasoning is not wrong. When practiced in a specific part of the day, running can bring some benefits in an amplified way for the body. However, it is not a rule to follow the training in just one hour. The focus for you athlete is an adaptation, so put the practice according to your availability and pleasure. Do not assume that to have an income, you must practice only at a specific time. There will be benefits at any time of the day, and the race will be welcome; just program and be ready when you run and don’t forget to wear comfortable running shoes when running.
Morning
The preferred time for many to do any physical activity is in the morning. Willpower for the day’s tasks, disposition, and productivity is increased for those who exercise their sports routine early in the day, as they are given a ‘gas’ to start daily tasks.
For runners, practicing the sport at this time will be very beneficial, in addition to being considered ideal for running, due to numerous factors. Starting with the production of hormones, training early will be useful, as the body will use cortisol (stress hormone) to metabolize carbohydrates and fats. So, with the peak in the morning, the body will have a lot of energy to expend calories, so whoever wants to lose weight, training on waking up will be a solution.
In addition to the caloric expenditure, training in the morning also reduces appetite and helps regulate sleep. The body will have used energy gradually, so you may also experience a fall in insomnia when running early. For those who tend to get tired throughout the day, this schedule will help get things going.
Evening
A period little used by athletes is the afternoon. Usually considered a time of rest, either after leaving work or during lunch, many ends up not exercising in the meantime. However, the practice is done in the afternoon and helps in the second half of the day, and is a stress relief for the athlete. This will happen because the risk of injury in the activity will be reduced since the organism will have already acquired some disposition, responding effectively.
This is also a time for those looking to optimize results because the body will have hormone levels and body temperature maximized in the afternoon, so there will be a significant increase in performance, which will help in body resistance and building muscle mass.
Night
Finally, the period that many athletes also choose to train is at night. A time to relieve tension and relax your mind from everyday problems, training in this period will also be beneficial at some points in your life.
Starting with physical performance, training can bring a significant performance improvement, as the body temperature will still be maximized. The impact is that muscle strength and endurance of cardiovascular activity may increase.
Another factor is that the heart rate and blood pressure will also be higher at night, which will help the body react faster (and better) in physical activity. That is why many feel the courage and strength to practice at night, and this is because the body reacts faster to the stimulus.
In addition, it will also help in physical performance since there is the possibility of fractures and injuries during night sports.
Finally, for those looking to build muscle mass, the impact at night is greater, as protein synthesis will rise. The body uses protein for muscle repair, and it peaks at the end of the day. That is, practicing at night can increase the body’s ability to recover.
So, regardless of the time, adjust your routine to guarantee the benefits of running because, in any part of the day, it is possible to feel some stimulus and result!
