its not ideal to do anywhere near that amount of cardio post weights but if your forced to do so and your bulking I would take 2 shakes 1 before cardio one after.... if your cutting I would say just 1 before cardio and eat after...

Why not just cut down the 45 min of cardio to 20 min and take a shake immediately after your cardio? A HIIT 20 min cardio session seems more ideal, in that you will have a better chance of fighting catabolism. Just my 2 cents.
