Often, 4 a.m. is the time most runners have questions about. Possibly because it is the PERFECT time to get in a long run (16 miles plus). Or, perhaps because they know it’s a bit too early for the amount of sleep they’re getting.
So, is running at 4 a.m. good?
4 a.m. is a great time to run to avoid traffic, crowds, and limit distractions. You’ll be able to run in the quiet of the morning and navigate streets and trails with ease. Consider wearing reflective gear and running with a friend for safety purposes.
While running at 4 a.m. can be awesome, just remember that it is also EXTREMELY important to get adequate sleep the night before.
