Best time of day to train

It was recently pointed out that this is the perfect solution during the shorter winter days. Assuming you can get a 2 hour lunch break. Have to allow for getting ready, a shower and actually having lunch. Flexitime helps.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

Depends on the session fitting in, but a turbo session only takes the length of the session plus 2 minutes getting ready, and 5 minutes shower. Lunch at your desk.0

Was pet hate of mine at a previous company. People clocking* in and having breakfast, usual day, having dinner then clocking out.kingstongraham said:Depends on the session fitting in, but a turbo session only takes the length of the session plus 2 minutes getting ready, and 5 minutes shower.

They were effectively getting paid an hour a day for eating breakfast and dinner.
Chapeau to them for getting away with it, but...

Sure, if you can't do some work while eating, maybe don't do it.
Or if you want to justify it, pretend it's like a smoke break.0 -
What if said munchers were also chain smokers? 😉The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

Yep spot on, I take a 2 hour lunch normally, gives me time to get changed, carry out a 75 or 90 minute session, and then hit the shower, and eat at my desk afterwards.Felt F70 05 (Turbo)

I'm struggling especially this year to cycle earlier in the day and get the benefits of a heightened metabolic rate for the rest of the day, so often it's a reluctant change into kit in a semi-zombied state sometime 1600-1900.================

My struggle with riding later, is that I tend to find with the exercise, and shower etc, I then sometimes struggle to get to sleep - maybe due to the endolphins racing around?N0bodyOfTheGoat said:I'm struggling especially this year to cycle earlier in the day and get the benefits of a heightened metabolic rate for the rest of the day, so often it's a reluctant change into kit in a semi-zombied state sometime 1600-1900.

Early morning is best if possible. There’s less traffic about, and ( if you’re into marginal gains) the cooler air is better to train in ( until it goes sub zero ).0

What kind of answers are you expecting? Give it a try and find out. Only you will know if it works.kermy said:Currently working from home with limited time in the evenings. Just wondering if a lunchtime training session would work?

I've swapped the bike for running at present in this wet weather.
I find the only time I can run is first thing.
Left it until the afternoon yesterday, half a mile, gave up, no enthusiasm. Today out at 8 am, five miles no problem.
Don't know if it is a psychological thing or what?0 -

Been here 35 years now, absolutely no enthusiasm to move, I'll be here until they cart me off to cemetery or care home!

I don't understand what the other option is - should they not eat during the day or do most people clock out twice a day to go and eat outside the building?pblakeney said:

Have breakfast before going to work, and dinner when you get home? Like most people.monkimark said:I don't understand what the other option is - should they not eat during the day or do most people clock out twice a day to go and eat outside the building?

i also eat my breakfast at work because I generally start at 7:30am0 -
No. They were having all 3 meals while being paid. And this was only an 8 hour shift, normal hours, so only 6-1/2 hours remaining. Subtract coffee and smoke breaks on top...monkimark said:Ah, terminology confusion, Lunch = dinner

I've always found I'm better in the evenings training, on a morning I'm always a mess, feel total crap full of heartburn. On a night around 8pm is where I have most power.
In my student years I found an 18 miler around 2am in Manchester was actually the sweetspot for me.0
