Other runners revel in wrapping up their day with a run. It provides the stress release that compliments their day and offers separation from the burdens the day has brought forward. The challenge with an evening run is primarily the risk that your best intentions are infringed upon when a late day obstacle arises. To avoid this disappointment, you should prepare in advance. Maintain an extra set of running clothes and shoes with you at all times. Carry a long sleeve and short sleeve running shirt to cover the different weather conditions you might encounter, along with your other basic running gear. Maximize your evening run. Run a route along your way home if you are time constrained. Start at a slower pace and ease into your run. Allow your body to release the stress that it has accumulated since you set out earlier in the morning. For newer runners, you may even want to begin your run initially with a brisk walking pace. Take your time. Don’t rush your opportunity to pay yourself a dividend for the waves you’ve ridden throughout the day. Traffic congestion, office stress, or unplanned family emergencies all build and add to the weight you are carrying. Provide a gradual release and embrace the beauty of your time outdoors. When you plan accordingly, you can often run alongside, or directly into the sunset, with the knowledge that you’ve now tied a delicate bow on another incredible running experience.
