I also find it very difficult to run in the morning, not necessarily because I feel like I need to get to work but because I just feel very stiff and tired when I get out of bed. Maybe it's come with age, and maybe it wouldn't be such a problem if I was in better shape, but at my current half-ass shape it's quite a hurdle.

FWIW: My 50+ sorry ass wasn't so keen on exercising either, but I started by just going walking in the morning,and not trying to be too ambitious. Found some good audio books to listen to. After a while I felt good about that, felt my energy improving, and moved to running. At first it was more walking than running, but I would just push myself a bit, making a game of it. Before long the walking/running ration switched.
- scott_s 17y agoI'm in pretty good shape, and training in the morning is always more difficult. I train mid-morning on Saturdays, and it always takes longer to get going. I think just the act of being up and moving for even half a day gets you looser and more warmed up than if you stumble out of bed and start doing something. The few times I've done strength training first thing in the morning have been hard. I remember doing squats at 9 am and just dragging ass the whole time.
