Question

Is there anything wrong with running or jogging really late at night? like around 1AM to 3AM??

Answer 1

Ya thats a little crazy. why dont you go at like 9 or ten pm for an hour. how do you get up so early????

Answer 2

Run when ever its good for you. I have run late at night when I can't sleep. Its very peaceful at say 2 or 3 in the morning.

Answer 3

nope there is nothing wrong with that. i get my running done a little after midnite....But, some parks are closed around 11 so you cant run on their track

Answer 4

I really don't think so because its okay to excersize any time of day (heard it off of the biggest loser) and I always work out late. Maybe its better to do in day light though. The worst thing that could happen would probably being killed so late at night :D

Answer 5

1. Safety.   You are less visible at night.  Drivers are tired or leaving the bars.  There is less help awake if you encounter a dog, bear, coyote, mountain lion, mugger, serial murderer or combination of all of the above (depending on where you live).

2. Wakefulness.  Exercise energizes you.  If you have trouble sleeping and need to go to sleep afterwards, this is probably not the best time.

If however, you have a safe, well-lit place to jog (an all night gym) and you work shifts, then go for it.

Answer 6

kinda weird to be out that late unless you live in like alaska when its light at that time. 1 am is a bit more suitable. my brother lives in tallahasse and goes running at like 10 pm and just left to play tennis 10 mins ago so try more like 10pm. its alright ot run late since its cooler and not as humid either if thats a problem in your region.

Answer 7

no not at all as long as u have something bright on u that won't cause people driving to hit u, unless u run in a forest trail thats dangerous but besides that its perfectly fine i wish i can do that
