[smegs]

if im running in the morning, should i have a PWO after my run, or eat something, such as oats and lean protein?

If you are treating it as cardio, have what you would usually eat after cardio (i.e not PWO).

sounds like he hasnt done it before...but yeah dont drinkk a pwo shake. if you run, which you shouldn't in the a.m., for a long prd of time, eat a pro/fat meal to keep liposis going. if you want you can eat a pro/carb, its all up to you see what works for you.

dont eat until 30 mins to 45 mins after the cardio...this will keep your body in a fat burning mode even longer once you get off that treadmille.

Very hard to answer w/out knowing the entire context of the situation.

I.E., many factors could contribute/generate different answers.

How long are you running? If you are running for an extended period of time (I would say anywhere past 25 minutes of running) I would treat that as a leg workout and consume a PWO shake........ because honestly running isn't doing anything for fat burning. Just my $.02......



Now if you are calling doing fat burning cardio (low intensity) running then just eat a pro/fat meal afterwards. Like Swole said, it all depends on what exactly you are calling running and how long you are doing it for.
