And, to maintain a running habit, it's important that you run whenever it works for your schedule and goals.

But, in a perfect world, when would be the best time to exercise? You might be surprised to learn that a lot of the research points to the afternoon as the ideal time to exercise. Find out why it's better to run in the p.m.
