Early morning runs - a waste?
Righto now the mornings are a bit warmer!
If I want to up my mileage a bit I could get up early like 5.30am and do an easy 5 miler before getting home, showered and off to work. What I want to know is does anyone else do this and would it be of more/less benefit than staying in bed and resting. Are they just junk miles?

Better than hot sweaty runs at 5.30pm!! Mind you 5.30 am is a bit early...
Avoid running in polyester like the plague if it's hot; I'd forgotten that it holds in heat and sweat, allowing you to stew in your own juices

If you want to get the miles in it's only way to do it!
Just back from my EMR.
Best time of the day to enjoy the peace and quietness of the countryside and, as a bonus, the weather is perfect.

my favourite time of day to run. How rewarding and uplifting having a shower afterwards
No such thing as junk mileage - I think you should do as much as you want to (up to the point where your body can't take it anymore!) I much prefer running in the morning to the evening although the early get-ups do become a bit of a struggle sometimes. Theres rarely any wind, its rarely humid, its quieter and there aren't annoying yappy dogs all over the place.

They are fine once you get going.
Hoping for a far more successful 2009
Sorry all, not for me! It's my worst time as it takes me AGES to get going properly. I see it in my run times too as they're much slower as opposed to afternoon/evening. Nice time of year for it I know but I need to be up 'n' about for at least an hour before. Everyone's different I guess....
Makes the prep for morning races "interesting" I must say....
