Hi guys, for about 2 years I played with fasting. 16/8, one meal a day etc but mainly 20/4. Would train heavy weight training prior to ending my fast and.was 8% bodyfat. Looked good and felt good .
I then ruptured my bicep tendon, complete rupture and has been a year and still recovering. Due to this.weight training has changed to predominantly cardio, approximately 20 miles a week. My problem is I just cannot fast with this training, I am ravenous.
I love running first thing In the morning it’s great for my mental health, I know I am burning a lot of calories and this is what is causing the hunger. Just wondering does anyone else do Long distance running fasted and how do they plan there fast around it?
I have been running, trying to get over 16 miles a week every week this year, along with some more weights and body exercises (like the burpees). I had been on a 5 hour window but I had to open it up to a 6 hour window because I was getting so hungry. I run around 10:30, so in usually back home and back out of the shower at noon.
I get to eat plenty. But I am super hungry, like you say. I just eat.
