v EFFORT AWP RUN Why are WE waking up at 5:30am? Why are WE running at this time if we can do it later? Every morning, Monday through Thursday, these two questions come to our minds in search of answers and the answers are always the same: WE just love rising and shining; WE love taking the streets by surprise; WE love seizing the moment and just focusing on our run. Nobody says it is easy, but everybody says it is worth it. The best time of day to run is a long-standing debate among runners. Is there a “perfect time”? Who knows! We are not talking about relative humidity levels or about the now-infamous “dew point” but about that sense of accomplishment you get every time you finish a run. Every run may not go as planned, but once you have finished, you feel you can do anything. How do WE do it? Going to bed a little earlier is the first step. You must redefine your bedtime and be consistent. It is not only about waking up but also about being efficient during your day. Once you get used to your new bedtime, it will be much easier to wake up and you will notice all the benefits of a morning run. What benefits? A morning run gives you the energy required to face your daily challenges; it brings discipline into your life and offers you a workout free of excuses.WE have fans all over Miami that wake up every morning looking forward to see the AWP 5:30 am group photo.In October 2013, a former group of AWP runners created a new morning running group called RWV (Run With Vivi).
