While when I focus on cardi I always start off on a bike maybe 30 mins to 45 mins level 5-6. From there I bring it down to level 1 on a bike and go about another 5 minutes. From there I will go on a treadmil for the duration of a TV show. Then I will go take a break then come back later and do maybe a 2 mile run. This is my indoor rotuine.
Outdoors I will alternate between .5 miles and 3 miles. Always giving myself on days I can't really do a full run at least the time to do a half. When I get bored I run drills back and forth is one set all exercises have 3. The length of half a basketball court. 1. Full sprints back and forth 3x 2. Backwards runs 3x 3. Skips 3x 4. Side shuffles 3x 5. Walk 3x 6. Hops w/ feet together 3x 7. Side lung & Squats These exercises are done with step platforms 1. One leg on bench/ step it stays there other leg on floor. Step through with leg on floor bring it up to chest and back to floor 40x each leg 2. Alt. stepping on step/bench 40x 3. Plyo jumps 20x |

my outdoor activities are just running the same route everyday, on top of whatever i do at the gym
my route is roughly 3.4 miles..so i figure im burning around 800 calories from just cardio everyday that i run outside and do cardio at the gym |

ive been monitoring my cardio when im at the gym, burns 390 every 30 minutes, i do that twice a day typically. THis also doesnt count the calories i burn playing basketball and at work walking around for god knows how long.

I spend 90% of my time on a bike, but (for me) the effects of running are a lot greater. I expend so much more energy running than I do on a bike.

Would you say that doing decently high intensity cardio on days where you're not lifting would be detrimental to gaining strength as long as you're still taking in plenty of protien and eating a balanced carb/protien meal before the cardio?
