Runner Cristina Turini explains how to organize our routine if we want to run early in the morning, but we have never been able to put this into practice.
Tips for Running Early in the Morning
- Go to bed early in the evening.
- Avoid eating heavy foods the night before and avoid alcohol if you can. Rather hydrate yourself by drinking water. You will still wake up dehydrated, so before you go out for a run, drink at least a glass of water.
- Prepare your running outfit the night before.
- As soon as the alarm goes off, immediately throw your legs out of bed and then slowly do the same with the rest of your body.
- Your body has the energy it needs to cope with physical activity. On your return you will have a good balanced breakfast.
- Which on an empty stomach should last 40 to 60 minutes, depending on your level of preparation, and it is better if you run at a low intensity, to activate lipid metabolism and burn fatty acids.
- By burning calories early in the morning, I induce a metabolic signal aimed at continuing to burn calories for the rest of the day and not to store them, and therefore preparatory for weight loss.
