I enjoyed morning runs. Somedays I would run with the some of the team that I coached at Bellarmine. Some days, I ran by myself. Morning runs just woke me up. I do know that it was part of my daily training (three days a week) in college. In high school, the top runners did morning runs. You have to decide if they are good for you. Ask your coach.
