early morning run? - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

amurphy · 02-03-2008, 01:12 PM

i normally do a 5 mile run first thing on a sat morning, wieghts mon,wed, fri. it takes me around 40 mins to complete my jog. i am keeping it at a steady pace as i don't want to burn off all the weight training during the week. is this cardio to much or should i just do a brisk walk instead?

just looking to add a bit of size and shed some fat not that i have much just want to be more leaner

my diet and weight training is good

cheers

a brisk walk for around 30-40 mins would be better mate

as above -do on rest days,wont lose muscle or injure joints/pounding the pavements-takes a bit longer but burns the same calories

cheers for the feed back.

i thought running and walking the same distance burns the same amount of calories but by running it keeps burning more after you have stopped, is this true?

i also have an exercise bike in the house if the weather is pi$$ing down could this be an option and would i do 30-40 mins at alight pace also? or could i do a 15 min 10k burst? with taking burning all my weight training?

cheers again

sorry to jump in but better than starting a new topic,

does the walking have any advantages over sprints (hiit)
