Too long, try and get a meal in before your run, perhaps 3 hours beforehand (slow release complex carbs) otherwise you will be tired. Then after your run as I said grab a shake or have some proper food that will have some protein and some carbs to replenish your glycogen stores. (amounts will depend on your running…

No need to eat right before you go for your run, the post run shake will: Repair your muscles Replenish your glycogen stores! How long before your run is your last meal?

Why would you have a protein shake before going for a run?! Post workout grab a shake! Therefore you are eliminating extra calories/carbs and keeping the benefit of the shake!

You could continue losing weight with your diet and then gain muscle by strength training. Especially if your goals are to gain muscle and look more ripped.

If you ride hard over 12 miles you are going to need to replenish any glycogen lost from your muscles so your ready to ride home!!

Type of bike is going to depend on what type of riding you are going to do. If your going to be offroad across fields, mud, loose gravel etc. A mountainbike with front suspension might be the best choice. If your going to be on roads and lose gravel, some back tracks etc. A Cyclo cross bike would probably suit you best. If…

If it's 12 miles each way your gonna have to eat when you get there and when you get back. Otherwise you will be tired!

Hmm maybe its wrong then. Try a better test: http://revelsports.com/Articles/VO2_Max.asp

Perhaps your vo2 max is excellent. If your a good endurance athlete then why not?!

Of course you can burn 1000 calories in an hour! Congrats

Try it with lots of milk, not skimmed milk, either semi skimmed or full fat. So that the consistancy isnt really thick

Ha, bacon won't be paleo :x

I've tried it and couldnt stick to it! I felt like I needed grains and dairy. And I felt like I was down on energy and was having trouble training! If I could do it right I would probably stick to it though. Any people with experience know how to keep energy up if you train 16+hrs per week?!

Your question is totally irrelevant as you have the answer. People are giving you answers, when you infact already know that for you, personally 1000 calories per workout is overtraining. Perhaps you could burn somewhere between your current 500 and 1000 without overtraining. But as you have already found experimentation…

em you didnt answer the original question as it was how many calories should you burn in one workout. The answer is as many as you want. Why not burn 3000 in one workout?! But if you do, refuelling is incredibly important. Also I believe a purely cardiovascular workout plan is perfectly fine for creating a lean build.

I burn about 1200 calories per day. I am not sure there is a limit as to how much you burn in one workout, you're most likely going to be limited by time and/or fitness level.

Your BMR (how much fuel your body needs per day without exercise) is 1400 calories. If you burn 600 in your workout you will need a total of 2000 calories. If you want to put a bit of extra weight on and build some muscle have 2200 calories and make sure you are taking in adequate protein.

If your 30% fat you can lose fat and gain muscle. If your 10% fat you will have a rough time trying the lose fat and gain muscle.

Just treat the read out from the HRM as gold and don't be dissapointed just train harder or longer...

Absolutely, just make sure you dip into the higher heart rate zones for short periods of time so you can improve.

What Swindon said, try an energy gel or perhaps an energy drink like a lucozade sport or something of that nature. I personally like a fig roll or 2 for quick energy as it has a good mix of fructose in there which can be absorbed while exercising with intensity.

To make this info useful try staying in the fat burning zone for 3 minutes, then spend 1 minute in the subthreshhold zone, and then repeat this 5 times in a workout. See if that increases your calories burned. Once you get fit enough to do that easily you could work up to 3 minutes in endurance zone and 3 minutes in the…

Basically Threshhold training is going to be at your limit, you will just be able to get rid of lactic acid and it will be hard work. Vo2 max training is where you have gone beyond the limit, you can't get enough oxygen in for the amount your muscles need. This zone will be exceptionally tough (totally out of breath and…

Your being too vague. There are different heart rate zones for different targets such as: fat burning - 120 - 139 BPM aerobic/endurance - 139 - 152 BPM sub threshhold - 152 - 165 BPM threshhold - 165 - 174 BPM vo2 max - 175 - 186 BPM

If your resting heart rate is in fact 58, then you are in great shape which effects your HR zones so the intensity you are describing will be threshhold/sub threshhold. vo2 max: 174 - 187 threshhold: 161 - 174 sub thresh probably : 148 -161 endurance: 135 - 148 fat burning: 123 - 135

Impossible to guess, buy a cheap heartrate monitor and calculate based on average heart rate for the workout.

With regards to meals I usually have: 6:00am - 400ml natural yoghurt + coffee w/milk 6:30 - 8am - training 8:30am - Porridge w/protein powder and milk 12:00pm - jacket potato w/chicken, salad, tuna 3:00pm - porridge w/milk 4:00pm-5:15pm - training 5:45 - 4/6 eggs 7:30pm - tea (meat protein + non refined carbs) This is…

Oh , right. I happen to love cardio! So anyone out there who likes cardio don't just give up your cardio workouts as I believe you can lose weight with a purely cardio program. (No disrespect to strength programmes as I know alot of people who enjoy them)

I don't understand why doesnt cardio work for losing fat? Is it not just calories out - calories in?!

To the OP, the article that you are referencing is about leisure time sitting. If you follow the link to the journal that the article is based on you will find this link: http://aje.oxfordjournals.org/content/172/4/419.abstract "reducing time spent sitting, regardless of activity, may improve the metabolic consequences of…
