Is it safer late at night or early in the morning?

[Anonymous]

So I want to start running, but I am only free when it is dark outside, so my options are either later at night or early in the morning. I should probably mention that I live in the downtown part of a city and there are some rough characters sometimes. I have only felt unsafe one time, and that was in the middle of the day and several months ago. What is the safer option?

I would say early in the morning. Most of the time there will be people walking dogs or running as well. So you at least have someone around in case something happens.

I used to live downtown and when I would walk to my car early in the morning. I would always see people out and about. I guess it really depends on how early you are thinking. I would leave around 6 am and there would be people out.

But I don't think there would be many out at 3am or 4am.

Carry your cellphone on you and some keys. Keys can be put between your fingers in case you need to defend yourself. Also, try to keep your running to well taken streets. So there will be plenty of people out. Don't go down a hidden dark trail.

I know that kind of sucks, but it's much safer!

It depends on where you live. It is never safe wither late at night or early in the afternoon, the afternoon or evening. My area is not too safe as we have bears, foxes, skunks, and of course, predator people who are out there. You should ask your close friends and family members who is familiar with this situation. Don't take anything for granted. And stay away from downtown at certain times of the day. Be mindful of your surroundings. And if you use earphones for walking, keep the music down to a minimal level so that you know what your hearing. Because it dangerous.

I live in the country so I run in the early am and have seen a cougar wandering our neighborhood-I suggest night, no cougars. (Four legged kind)

Early in the morning. At sunrise. Then the vampires are gone.

Serial killers.. some like daylight some like night but I would say maybe in the morning. You'll have more energy to fight someone off if they try to fuck with you where as at night most of the lunatics coming out are high on drugs looking for crazy things to do and crimes blah blah blah. I don't know if any of that made sense I'm really bakef sorry
