i didn't mean that you'd be sore i meant that doing cardio for extended amounts of time can be bad for muscles. i mean, its all about food intake. i mean over long extended runs like that your body can start to use muscle as a source of energy rather than stored fat. i personally don't go longer than a hour ever. but i dunno...what have you found when doing those long runs like that? |

| From my understading (and how I've been doin it) Is cardio for about 20-25 minutes after heavy lifting. A protien shake during the workout. gives plenty of fuel with out canniblizing muscle. |

yeah but we're not talking about 20 minutes...we're talking about an hour and a half. after twenty minutes you've barely even started to burn fat... |

I used to do 12-16 2-3 times a week. It would destroy, then get stronger. as I was running farther and farther diet became more important, and the time it took to build up to that distance at that frequency was several months.
But it felt good in the end. It took all the fat off my body, then I switched diets and started weights heavily.
Also 10 miles in the city with lights and crosswalks and traffic isnt as hard as it may sound, lol. Lots of stops and resting. |

I did that when I was in scotland and the liquor store was 30 yards away from the front door.
after the second fifth I purchased wearing nothing but a kilt the owner was suspecting drunkness lol. The girl liked it because I didnt care when they flipped my kilt up |

It deoends on what you are trying to build.
Me personally, have given up the notion long ago of being a lithe, wiry individual (unsure why i wanted to, in the first place) So primary consideration is strength and size, with a decent amount of cadiovascular health (Boxing and all accoiated exercises 3 times a week.
A person trying to go for a more toned, slimmer package, would concentrate more on the cadiovascular aspect, and exercises with more intensity, as opposed to resistance.
This might be a subject for a whole nother thread... I need to whip out those exercise manuals... :) |
