Is 13:11 on top of running in the mornings a good start?

I’m new to IF and rn I’m doing 13:11 on top of 30 minutes of interval running in the morning… on top of working a job afterwards that requires a lot of walking. I was thinking of doing that for a week or so before going straight to 16:8 but so far is this an ok start for someone new to IF?

Answer

Definitely. You should always try to ease into fasting. The body will get used to it after a while and it will feel like a breeze.

I’m currently doing 23:1 for 6 days a week (I’m on a cut) and it feels normal to me. Actually I prefer the pre-feeding phase to the lethargy afterwards… just makes me want to go to bed.
