Run in the morning. Something about your metabolism and burning more calories if you run in the morning before you have food in you, plus if you're doing boxing training in the evening you want to have time to rest in between.
Everyone has a different schedule so you have to find the right time to run. I can't run in the mornings so I run at night at a track for about 15 minutes. I run about a mile and a half every other day. It's a killer workout and you burn a lot of calories. Start off easy before you can eventually make your way up to a mile or mile and a half. Good luuck.
When the body is in its anabolic state. There's 24 hours in a day, right. The body is in its anabolic state, when we're asleep, the moment we wake-up and the first 8 hrs of your day is your anabolic state. It's when things start to wind down, for most people it is in the late afternoon/after work, that's when we enter our catabolic/anabolic state.
Having said all that, the best time to workout(anaerobic or cardio) is the first 8 hours that we're awake. So, your individual anabolic state might vary from other people, again it depends when you wake-up. Most people get up at 6a.m. to get ready for work(that's their anabolic state), some people don't have to wake up till 2p.m(that's their anabolic state) to get ready for work.
To give you a better picture:
Let's say, you usually sleep between 10p.m. to 6a.m.(anabolic state)
The next 8 hrs from the time you wake up is considered being in the anabolic state as well.
Last 8 hrs of the day is considered our catabolic state.
That makes sense considering we use our energy/muscles during working periods and then enter catabolic state right after the work period just like a workout.

actually i dont think thats very correct it seems what state our body is in is highly dependent on if where exercising and how our nutrition is. the first 8 hours after waking up is nothing important and if you dont have food you will quickly go into a catabolic state. catabolic and anabolic are just overall words that only classify states of the body where your either breaking stuff down (exercising, starving) or building stuff up(resting, eating meal through out the day to constantly supply energy). the only real difference is later in the day our blood pressure tends to be higher and a nice run after a having some carbs and protein will lower that and relieve stress.

there are lots of different ways to run and really your best bet is a combination of sprinting and long distance for endurance and stamina. some days youll want to do long distance and some days sprinting. one day try running as far as you can at a slow pace like 5-6 mph then when your tired take a min walking break stretch and do it again try to do 2 miles if not more. the next day do something like 1 min walking 1 min at like 6 mph then 1 min walking and 1 min at 6.5 mph then 1 min walking 1 min at 7 mph building up till you cant run for min at the speed youve built up to, and if you still have some energy do it again starting back at 1 min walking 1 min at 6 mph. experiment with different intervals of walking to running different speeds different times or different distances
before any running you should walk for about 5 mins or do some kind of warming up for atleast 5 mins some marathon runners (the good ones) will run up to a mile before the marathon just to warm up. after the warm up or relatively early into your run you should stretch as well as after your run and if you so chose through out your run as well.

. Whether people workout or not, everyone goes through an anabolic state and a catabolic state.
*The thread starter was asking when is the best time to run, in other words, when does the body benefit the most from working out, it's surely not during the catabolic state*
The ideal time to run or workout is during the anabolic state, but of course, people have busy schedules, you workout when you can. It's better to excercise than not at all.

MY main points are:
1. the state your body is in is not determined by the time you woke up.
2. the length of time your body is in either state is not set to a min or max amount of time like say 8 hours
3. by eating multiple meals through out the day you are constantly providing food and helping to keep you body in an anabolic state through out the entire day not just the first 8 hours
4. working out breaks down muscle, carbs, fats so by definition when working out your body is going through a catabolic state.
5. extremely good nutrition, supplements, a specialized routine are almost a requirement for maintaining a anabolic state while working out.
6. an anabolic state pre work out can be helpful allowing you to train longer but this can be any time during the day with good nutrition.
