I am also not a morning person but it really is the best time for me due to work on-call etc - try as I might night running doesn't happen. I force myself - clothes out night before, get my half banana ready, phone and music charged up, alarm set. When it goes I force myself up right away and no snooze. Once I get out running I think, this is great, so peaceful, quiet. I wouldn't say I love my training sessions yet, but after I feel great. Good luck

For anyone reading this topic and aren't sure about the app let me tell you...it's incredible! The whole idea of the app is to provide a sensible approach to getting off that couch with a goal in mind of getting to 5K within 8 weeks! I know for a fact if I tried that without the app I'd have failed miserably through trying to do too much at the start and probably injuring myself in the process. This app worked perfectly for me, I'm on W8 D2 and can't wait to get started on the 10K when I've finished this one because I trust how the program works. I strongly recommend another app to track distance/pace etc but don't drop this one - it's the perfect guide to build you up to where you need to be after 8 weeks

And Blayne, that is just fine. My first Marathon in Vegas, i was in excellent shape, a lady in her 70's passed me by and offered me Ibuprofen. Phhtt. Lol. I will never forget that. But I finished, i have short legs. Hee hee. I was moving and thats all that mattered. Yay.
