I think we're all different, but apparently our body clock is more suited to afternoon/evening for exercise. I think we have lower immunity in the morning or something.
If you are targeting a race, I definitely think there's a benefit to training at the time of that race. i.e. 9am race, train around 9am. It gets your body used to 'performing' at that time of day.

Mine's best suited to just once a year at the moment. Don't want to overdo it.
I need to get active again; coming home from a day on TWTD and cracking open a cold one is a bit of a habit. Both need to stop really before I lose my job and boyish good looks.

Thanx for this, now I have a quality excuse for running so badly in the park runs
Whenever I can fit it in is probably the most accurate answer, but tends to be either morning or during my lunch break during the week as struggle to get motivated in the evening
Highlighting crass stupidity since sometime around 2010
Definitely morning runs for me. Higher energy and motivation than in the evening. Also good training for race events which are always morning starts. Can grind out a short evening run but don't enjoy it. Love the smug feeling normally in Winter of a good length run on a weekend morning before rest of family are up and about.
Morning for me where possible. If I'm only doing a short one I can get up and out on an empty stomach, but I tend to do longer runs at the weekend so make sure I have a reasonable breakfast and then go out at least a couple of hours later. Ideally, I like to go out, do it and then get on with the rest of my day in the satisfaction of knowing I've got it off to an active start.
I've done plenty of late runs - especially at this time of year where there are some days when the temperature feels too high until the sun goes down - but then I find my whole evening kinda feels like I have to gee myself up to go out, and it kinda makes things more complicated in terms of planning dinner early enough to fit the run in afterwards. Plus in my experience, I don't put in good times in the evenings - most of my PBs have come early in the day.

Brilliant.
We've all been there. I certainly was at points during my yoof... 'Have I spent too long on TWTD'!
I don't do much running in the Summer. More cycling and swimming.
If I do run it will be a shorter distance at a reasonable pace. That said, I have a half Ironman on Sunday and the half marathon will be in the peak of the heat.
