What’s the best time to run?

I know I’ve posted about this before and I’m going to end by saying the same thing I always say. However, we do have more research on the benefits of exercising at different times.

In short, it seems that for burning fat morning works best. For managing blood sugar, later in the day works better. The managing blood sugar side actually coincides with prior research that has shown people who work out later in the day do manage their blood sugar better than those who do first thing in the morning.

And now the usual stipulation: what time is best for you is the time that works best for your schedule. The time of day you target doesn’t matter as much as actually getting it done. So do what works best for you.

2021 review and 2022 preview at HillRunner.com

I’ll be completely honest, I’m on vacation right now and writing this pretty quickly. So this will be a short review/preview but I just want to let everyone know I’m still looking at how HillRunner.com is doing and always thinking about how to make it better.

I’m going to be short on the 2022 preview for one primary reason: unless I hear something from you, sometimes I just go with the flow and figure out what to do. I promise that, every year, I at least try a few things to make the experience for the community better or try to reach new people. I will continue that in 2022 but what 2022 will bring, unless I hear from you, will be somewhat unpredictable.
