General Cardio thread.
>Inb4 Cardio Kills gains
Is everybody looking after their heart and doing ample cardio?
Training for a half marathon currently, 11k in 1hr 30 today. Pretty slow but building up. Shredding the weight thanks to the constant running however.
Share stories, motivation, changes since doing cardio etc.

Currently doing an upper lower split, was previously doing 2 or 3 HIIT sessions on a bike a week, and felt like shit so switched to 3 or 4 30min steady state cardio sessions a week.
Was leaner when doing the HIIT, but since changing to steady state I recover better, sleep better, feel more relaxed and have much harder erections.
I’m focusing on weight training, but I run 4 miles 3 times per week. I use my autism to imagine myself as either Big Boss/Venom Snake running through the jungle or as a Roman Legionary marching and running in battle.
I’ve even got playlists for each scenario.
lifting weight boosts test - high endurance training boosts estorgen.
miss me with that soyboy shit faggot
kek. I sometimes run late at night and have to go thru pitch black forests so I get paranoid thinking someones following me, that makes me run fast as hell.
I've done this as well, except I imagine myself as a viking barbarian running into battle.
You're not alone
cardio isnt done by your heart its done by your pussy
Short term goal are :
>Doing my first 50 K without speed goal ( curent max is 36 KM)
>12 Min 3,3K ( Curent is 12 Min 3K)
Doing HIIT for the first time tomorrow. For heart health and because I want to become good at sprinting.
How often would I have to do cardio before it interferes with my gains?
I've started doing 20 min of pretty intense cycling before my lifts, not too crazy but better than before as I used to despise cardio, especially runing.
I keep my heartrate at about 160 throughout, and get a good sweat and burn in my quads. I'm usually at a high resistance trying to go as fast as I can. good enough for now?
