Bah, not a good idea of cardio...

[Turkish]

So as summer is coming, I decided to lose a few pounds, and get my body fat from ~12% to ~9%... well, I have been waking up at 4:30 and hitting the gym at 5:00 AM. My cardio routine is jogging @ 5.0 mph on a 15 degree incline. Well, after jogging 3.2 miles, I didn't have any power (I normally can reach 8 miles easy). I felt extremely sick, but didn't have anything to throw up or anything. So I get out of the gym, come home and lay on my bed @ 5:50 or so... what happens next? I woke up at 2:00 PM wondering what the fvck happened

It was very stupid of me... didn't have any sleep nor had dinner last night (didn't have time)... god, i still feel horrible...

Just wanted to warn you fellow ATOTers to not push yourself to your limits... although sometimes good, not always good thing to do

5.0 mph.

So, then, I guess you should let us know how fast you were running..

well, it shouldnt have been a problem if you were going under 7mph. how fast were you moving?

 

[Ikonomi]

Any chance you were running on an incline? That would make it harder.

will you all read my OP? I said 5.0 mph... Also, running 5.0 mph at 15 degree angle is tougher than 7 mph on flat IMHO.

You bonked. Not eating the night before meant you had little/no glycogen stores to draw on, so your body shut down on you. It's happened to pretty much every cyclist I know at some point.

How fast were you running? (sorry, had to )

The idea is to keep your heartrate between (225-age)*0.70 and (225-age)*0.85 for optimal fat-burnage - were you over that? Also don't skip meals, if you're not hungry at least have a little something, and if you don't have time grab a premade something-or-other. Protein shakes & bars fill these roles well, respectively.
