Why are you waking up that early? If running at 5am isn’t working for you, try afternoon or evening. Like all the other advice I gave you the other day, the best plans and goals are the ones that work for you. Just because some people have success running at 5am doesn’t mean that’s what you should do.
Personally, I sleep around 10pm to 6am. Run at 6:30ish on days I do run. Quick shower and my long commute of about 14 steps to my office for work by 8. On days I don’t run, I usually do an extra long stretching, mobility, bodyweight workout in the morning, or sleep in and do a lifting session at the gym in the evening.
Today I did nothing but about 10 min stretching because I didn’t feel like it. And since I set my plans assuming some days will be like this, I’m still on track to my weekly plan.
I don’t like running during the day or late in the day. I want it for sure to be in the morning and before other people are out. I love being already up, it’s just a habit I still have to develop
Well, you could sleep early, say 2200, or an hour earlier. Important bit is 6 hrs of sleep is healthy, 4 hrs is really stretchy, anything less that 4 is a catastrophe to be unfold later.
I do run at 0500 every day for an hour. I often get sleepy two hrs later.
So, I ended up conditioning myself to have a half an hour power nap at 1500. Thankfully, my place of work respects this nap
