Tips for Running in the Morning

There are so many great reasons to run in the morning. It's a great way to wake up and watch the world awaken with you. This is not to suggest that getting into the habit is easy, especially if you're not a morning person. But there are ways to ease you into the routine and in ways you may even enjoy.

◆Teach Yourself Good Sleep Habits

Building a morning running habit starts with a good night's sleep. According to the American Sleep Association, you can train yourself to sleep at an earlier hour if you：

·Plan to go to sleep at the same time every night.

·Avoid TV, reading, or electronic devices an hour before bedtime.

·Avoid coffee or alcohol three hours before bedtime.

·Have a nightly routine, such as a warm bath, meditation (冥想), or listening to calming music.

◆Sleep in Your Running Clothes

It's hard to blow off a run when you're already dressed for it. If you really want to get a jump start and find motivation as soon as you open your eyes, simply wear your running clothes to bed.

◆Put Your Alarm Clock out of Reach？

When your alarm clock goes off early in the morning, you may want to get a couple of more minutes' sleep. If you're struggling to get up, place the alarm clock across the room so that you have to get out of bed to turn it off. The more steps you put between you and the bed, the less likely you are to fall back asleep.

◆Eat Smart

It is never good to run on an empty stomach. After a long night's sleep, you have little to draw upon in the way of energy. If you head out the door having eaten nothing at all, you will likely experience tiredness, muscle pain, shortness of breath, and weakness. Worst yet, you may convince yourself that you're “not made for morning runs，” when, in fact, you're not feeding yourself properly.

Even though one out of three American children live within a mile of their school, almost not half of those students often bike or walk to class, scientists report.

Children who live in the South, in country areas, or who have college-educated parents, are among those least likely to bike or walk to school, notes the report, which is published in July.

Sarah Martin and her workmates at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) studied materials from more than 7,000 children between 9 and 15 years of age.

They found that almost 35 percent of the children lived within one mile of their schools. Children between 11 and 13 years old were more likely to walk or bike than 9-year-olds. Children whose parents had a high school education were more likely to bike or walk than children with college-educated parents.

“The majority of children are missing an opportunity to increase daily physical activity,” Martin said in a prepared statement.

According to the CDC, nearly one in five (18.8 percent) children between 6 and 11 years old are overweight. Increased daily physical activity is one of the methods the CDC gives to help deal with obesity (肥胖)in children.

Martin said that there are all kinds of reasons why children in city areas might be more likely to bike or walk. They said the fact is that schools may be in mixed-use neighborhoods where it is more possible to bike or walk, compared with other places where there may be fewer safe sidewalks.
