hi, Running at lunch time is great for my job performance. I am a lot more focused in the afternoon and I do not think about the evening run since I ran at lunch. It is also a good break from the day at the office. Also, I eat lunch later during the day so I do not crash at 4pm.
Go Pre!
I don't think my running gets in the way of job performance but surfing and posting on RA sometimes does.

I agree... lunch runs work really well for me too. Seems like a good way to get re-energized and re-focused for the afternoon.

I'm more focused and alert after running or lifting weights in the morning. I go on an empty stomach first thing. Then I have a breakfast at home (protein and juice usually or a bagel) and another breakfast when I get to work (oatmeal, banana, cottage cheese, coffee). I do go to bed fairly early so I can get up at 5ish but that also keeps me from snacking at night. Just eat sensibly throughout the day. I pack a cooler that I bring to work. Morning or evening is really an individual preference. I like getting it done and then spending the evening with the family. I'm not sure if it's worth much but I think running in the morning also has a metabolic bonus. Your metabolism remains elevated for a while, whereas, if you go to bed shortly after running, your metabolism slows down quicker. It seems to work for me, I'm down about 15lbs since January.
