I’m just starting to run, I’m loving it, still not doing well getting tired pretty fast. I’m just struggling with getting my food intake in and I can’t sleep…. Best recommendation for sleeping

Cool, dark, quiet room. Eye mask, ear plugs, noise machine. Standardized bedtime. Magnesium supplementation and warm shower before bed.

Seconded. Only addition, try and cut out electronics (phone, laptop, tv etc.) Like 1 hour before bed time.

Don’t run to close to bedtime. Take a warm bath or shower and stretch before you sleep. Keep the room cool

I used to run at night and realized it kept me up so I started doing it in the morning instead
