running before bed

[apostalpaul2003]

In the past when cutting I used to run on an empty stomach and then go to bed hungry. This worked really well for me. My question is this after spending sometime here reading and listening to swolecat I have questioned my approach. Do you think this puts my body into a catabolic state and would due more damage than good? Thanks for any help

Definitely a bad idea........running is bad enough, but doing it before bed without eating after is even worse.

I guess you could run then wait about 30 min and slam a shake with flax then go to bed. At least you will have something in you while you sleep.

Then wake up in 2 hrs and drink another one!!!! Or just do it in the morning when you are rested and empty!!!

Agreed. Running is horrid, then going to be after doing a horrid event leads to much more horridness, thus leading to an extended horrid state of being totally/extremely horrid.

Is there any reason that you would not simply move your cardio to first thing in the morning?

Not challenging you but I would like to know what is so horrid about running. Just would like to know for my own knowledge?

Thats what I was thinking of doing after reading the sticky. I was just curious cause I got good results with doing it before bed.

i think he means horrid for building muscle/catabolic..... if you like doing it, do it.......

[SwoleCat]

It's more-so of doing a muscle-catabolism activity followed by an 8-10 hour fast leading to extended catabolism.
