Yeah. In my summer running schedule I have some 1.5hr morning runs. Seems like a lot (tbf it is) but those are the days that I have the most energy throughout the day. The more I exert, the more I get in return provided I’m eating adequately.
Long morning run days leave me feeling invincible for the rest of the day.
I hiked 7 miles/11km of steep hills in a little under two hours this morning and I’ve been fired up all day. I get it. I used to do long runs but I’m getting old enough I do better with fast paced hikes.
When you get into it, running feels amazing and you genuinely look forward to getting up in the morning to go outside. It probably won’t click immediately though.
Tbf a mile isn’t a long run at all. Maybe 10 minutes? Good wake up for sure.
For a decent runner it’s five or six. I can walk 13-14 minute miles all day long. Except I slow down on steep mountain inclines.

No don’t! You’re becoming one of them!
Fbi: this is the guy I was talking about!
It’s just how do you find the motivation to wake up and run a mile? I barely find the motivation to make tea
