    hi there, any advice for my prob would be appreciated....
    i have over the last year trained hard and increased my distance from 2miles to 13miles. I think i have carried this out in a correct manner as i have had no injuries, and i built the distance up consistently over time.
    I tend to only complete one long run (10-12miles) once a week, and limit the other 2 or 3 runs to less distance (average 5miles)....and alter these between fartleg, and recovery runs. I think i eat healthy, keep the calories to healthy c.2000 a day, drink about 2-3 litres of water a day, no processed food etc.
    my difficulty is running in the morning...even if i warm up, stretch, and then run, i find i have no energy. i have tried to get up early and have different breakfasts, and of course water...nothing seems to work.

    Maybe i am doing something inherently wrong, if so, can someone point it out!!

    Thanks for you help.
    S

    I do all my cardio in morning now as I cant seam to find the motivation after work... I think its just something you need to adabt too. Definately not going to have as much energy as after 4 -5 meals but heck it keeps you buzzing for much longer afterwards.

    I take a protein shake beforehand and eat a banana during the run if I go above 4 miles normally but heck thats just me.
