So I'm confused. When are you resting?

Yes, I do cardio and weight training on the same days. That the only way I can fit it in, so three days of weight training with cardio (jogging, boxing, spinning and/or eliptical) then one extra day of cardio.0

I just got some amino acids and glutamine from the vitamin shop at my gym and some non stimulant fat burners. I'm considering that I am depleting my glutamine storage among other things in my intense cardio.0

Stretching is key, especially when training legs or running. It sounds like you are experiencing DOMS, it would explain why its so difficult for you to run several days later. After a run you should always dedicate at least 5 minutes to stretching. I never work legs, be it strength or cardio and leave the gym without using a foam roller for 10 minutes before 10 minutes of stretching. Incorporate this and you'll notice massive difference in your recovery.
So what exactly do you do at the gym while always skipping leg day?0 -
Supplements are just substitutes for the real thing - whole foods will always be better than processed garbage that doesnt even have an expiry date. And get tonnes of sleep in
