Yea I do this on the weekends and whatever days I have off now. Ive been doing it since around late December, its gotten me conditioned pretty well. The only hard thing apart it was actually waking up, I would be dead tire because of no sleep, but once i started to run it was all good. I would run 4 miles every time, 2 miles there and 2 miles back home. Than go home and rest for a bit.

Real awesome workout.

I just cant do it. I stay up too late. I still run, but recently Ive just done it later in the day.

Getting out of bed is the only hard part. It sucks for about 30 seconds, and by the time you have your shoes laced up, you're fine.

I've switched from running 5-6 days a week to alternating running with doing 45 minutes of elliptical at my fitness gym every other morning. Maybe it's my age or just this seriously cold winter, but my knees are losing their sense of humor.

yeah, i have arthritis and it gets really cold in the winter where i live, not to mention all the snow and ice to slip on, so now i'm doing my cardio in the gym on machines... anyway, i used to go for morning runs - will again in two or three months and it's the best time, also it burns the most fat because u haven;t eaten anything yet

damn, thats what i always have wanted to do, but im WAY lazy, i will try , gonna be hard

I run 5 days a week on a treadmill in the morning

Boxers (at least many) run to keep the fat down. To burn fat, running in the morning (or technically, anytime after not eating for a while) is the best way to burn fat. It's somewhat complicated, but it has a lot to do with the fact that you are very low in carbohydrates at this point, so you'll burn more fat. If you're looking for peak PERFORMANCE though, run later on, as sugar metabolism is much more efficient. Personally, I run in the morning.

aside from the fat burning benefits, it is supposed to boost you psychologically also. If you have the desire to get up at 5-6am and run in the freezing cold then you will remember all those hard mornings when you are in a tough fight and overwhelm your opponent.

I can`t get up at 6am so i run in the evening after work, i`m such a p*ssy when it comes to waking up early...i never used to be.

I don't run in the morning, but I'm starting to think that I should. If I run within a few hours of eating anything heavy my stomach hurts so bad. I notice I feel a lot better if I'm running on an empty or near-empty stomach.
