They wake me up !! They’re actually very refreshing, as the morning ones are always grass and strides, and then I can do 8 hours of work more at peace =) (less leg pain sitting at the desk, too)
p.s. I also wholeheartedly believe now that training more frequently, gives the body less of a shock when it starts training, so less chance of injury, when being careful of course with the surfaces and type of training… (I overstretched the calf because of a ‘sudden 40min long run’.)
