evening
Same as me, but I would like to try running in the morning sometime. Its just that I dont wake up that's why I end up running in the evening. To be able to run in the morning, when everyone else is asleep shows a lot of discipline in your part.
As far as running in the evening goes, your body is tired from the activities you did the whole day so I guess your pushing your body.

It's not about discipline for me. I'm up at 6 am wether I need to be somewhere or not. I just get more out of my runs if I wait until the afternoon or evening.

No, it doesn't. Running on an empty stomach will just make you feel twice as tired, and that's about it. It's breakfast which gets your metabolism going in the morning, I can't see how your idea of not eating would work.

I usually grab breakfast immediately when I get up (pretty light), then go for my 1/2 hour run 30-60 min after. I have never had a problem doing this as long as I keep my breakfast pretty light. I would like to wait slightly longer but I can't with my schedule. It seems like ever since I started running in the morning I have more energy throughout the day.

Night. I was never a morning person, and coming from where I come from you can NOT run during the day for a good 7 months of the year these days, at least.

early in the morning.. like 4.
because boxing is such a mental game i think because you are willing to get up early in the morning and do your track work wile your opponent is probably sleeping. wile your working there sleeping

resting is also a important part of training, so while your training he will also be training.
It could also be: While you're overtraining up to the point of injury, your opponent is giving his body the needed rest.

Some of you seem to be taking the "mental game" a bit too far. Like Relentless and RDJ said you need your rest, you're nothing special just because you get up early to run.

Relentless, instead of acting like a know-it-all, back your statements up with some reasonable fact.

I actually run mostly in the afternoon. I'll run in the morning if its possible, but schedules don't leave me alot of time. Running in the evening sucks, besides thats when i do my gym work. I dont know why i don't like running in the evening, it just seems wrong.
Ok say if im at the gym between like 3:30 -5:30 pm is it cool to run that evening at say 8:30 or 9pm? or would it be best for me to get up early in the morning?....

If you feel up to it and think you could run as hard as possible, run on the night. Just make sure you have something to eat first.
Some people will probably go on about overtraining, but you have to find when you feel you're overtraining. Feeling like you don't want to train, always tired, depression, headaches, insomnia and a few others are signs of overtraining.

I'm an evening guy...for some reason I can NEVER get myself to run a really hard/good workout in the morning, I have to be up for at least 3-4 hours to do it.
I run my best when I go around 6PM, after a full day of doing something...it's a great stress reliever, and if I eat lunch between 1-3PM it gives my stomach plenty of time to empty out so that I'm not chucking it up when I run :good I usually go for about an hour too, which is perfect, cause then I'll be ravenous at around 8PM for dinner.

no hes right, it eats at fat reserves buddy. its been scientifically proven that running before you eat in the morning, once you wake up, burns fat 3x faster. then you have a big breakfast after to get your metabolism going fast for the day

If you are seriously overweight, yes running in the morning on a empty stomach will help you burn fat.
Because, your body users
Carbs - Fat - protein
In that order, to created energy. First Carbs are used they are converted into glycogen, then fats are used for energy and then protien. Which is your own muscle, and your body will be in a catabolic state.
So by running early in the morning you will have less, carbs in your system. So your body with switch to burning fat, when your are working out.
But training is all about intensity, if you have no carbs or less, which are used for your muscles main energy. You are not going to be training to the best of your ability.
And at the end of the day, that’s what training is all about. You diet should sort out your, weight. Boxers are too concerned with weight, 90% of people on this site sound like you have eating disorders like a teenage girl.
Eat right, plenty of carbs, Protein, and vitamins/minerals.
And training fucking hard, and what ever weight you are, that’s what you fight at.
Simple as.
Training speeds up your metabolism, the less you eat the slower your metabolism will become, and your body is not stupid. It will then try and convert more of the food you eat into Fat, fat is stored energy, that’s all it is.

Post links to this scientific proof.
This is what Alwyn Cosgrove thinks about it:
2) FASTED CARDIO
Are you ****ing kidding me? Seriously, are you ****ing kidding me? Why are we even talking about this?
Let's take two twins, both 200lbs, both doing the same training program, taking the same supplements, and following the same nutrition plan in the hopes of getting lean.
One difference, though: one of them eats 2 eggs and does 30 minutes of cardio three days per week. The other does 30 minutes of cardio, three days per week and THEN eats 2 eggs.
So what's the magical difference in terms of fat loss after six months? Drum roll please...
I'll tell you — no ****ing difference.
However, whenever you bring up this question we get a ton of responses saying, "This is exactly the information I needed!". Oh **** off. The reason you are still fat is because you couldn't decide to do cardio on an empty stomach or not?
This argument is pointless anyway. Who cares if it burns fat? You should be running as hard as possible and that isn't possible without eating beforehand.

I don't get any time for running anymore. I go swimming though.
I jog a mile on a treadmill then try and do intensive rowing. Rowing burns fat better and increasing aerobic and anaerobic capacity apparantly.

I prefer running in the mornings. I find in the evenings I'm too chilled out and relaxed, the last thing I feel like doing is going for a run.
As for running on an empty stomach I guess it depends on if you're looking to lose weight or to improve stamina and conditioning. Then again if your looking to lose weight HIIT is better which shouldn't be done on an empty stomach as it is too physically demanding.
