Moving your daily, weekly, or monthly sport or activity to the end of the day can be a way to ease you of an extremely hectic schedule. Whether you\u2019re a university student or working in the office five days a week, taking up a nighttime sport or activity may be for you! Here are our top picks.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

1. Running <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

No time to run during the day? Why not pull on your trainers and join the Midnight runners to get your endorphins going. The London-based running group Midnight Runners have late-night running groups currently taking place all over the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All levels and abilities are welcome which means there\u2019s something for everyone. Join their bootcamp runs where you\u2019ll be running 5-10km, followed by body weight exercises or their party run which is a little different. You\u2019ll be following a shorter version of the bootcamp run. Think DJ\u2019s and dancing till the venue closes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before the run make sure you have downloaded the Heylo app as it contains all of Midnight Runners bookings and safety tips specific to your area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Midnight Runners member Julie, 30, the group has completely turned her life around “in the best way possible.” After starting to run at a young age and developing anorexia, running was what taught her to appreciate her body for what it can do.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019ll bring the music, the energy, and the high fives \u2013 all that\u2019s left to do is lace up your trainers and run. \u201cMidnight Runners brought me a community from the first moment I met them, they treated me as if we had been friends all of our lives,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Fishing <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Fishing at night takes a little more skill and confidence compared to doing the activity during the day, however, this can be rewarding as a lot of species, such as catfish and conger eels swim and feed freely after dusk. Fishing at night can be dangerous, with more potential hazards than if you\u2019re casting your line during the day because you\u2019re working without light. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s always best to arrive as the sun is setting with the natural light present. LED headlamps are popular among anglers, as well as lights for rod tips. To prepare ensure that you dress for the weather conditions (check the forecast so you can be sure), and have a fully charged phone or radio, a first aid kit and a spare light.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
