Cardio makes me hungry, I wonder if splitting it (5 kilometers fasted, 5 kilometers in the afternoon) would help control the appetite.

Noticed you started doing treadmill in an incline!! How do you like it? I can't do it without an incline now that I started! 

Also yes, burning all those calories all in one go may make you hungry as hell lol. But I still think it would be better to do it all at once rather than 2x a day, but that's me haha and I don't like cardio that much. There are also researches that were done that proved fasted vs non-fasted cardio did not affect calories burned and fat burned over time. I believe Greg Doucette made a video about that not long ago on youtube, something you might want to try out! 🙂

Nobody likes cardio but it's not only burning calories  it's good for the heart which is a muscle after all.

What I like about fasted cardio is that nothing gets in the way. What's done is done. It has been my routine for years.

I think I read that when you do cardio first thing in the morning your metabolism stays high all day which helps burning calories like a furnace if you see what I mean.

And yes, I like doing treadmill in an incline but I wonder if it's not responsible for the ITBS pain. We'll see.

Cardio only day

Wild. What's your resting heart rate sitting at with all this cardio tuning your heart like a fine engine. 55-60BPM?

Your an inspiration.

I'm now in bad pain (have been for weeks but kept lifting). I'm now considering dropping the weights for good. 

My GP told me "no wonder you're exhausted if you walk 10 kilometers or more daily, it's too much"

I think this GP is "challenged".  I have an office job - basically sit on my ass all day - and if I have an errand to run here and there and go for a short walk to the sandwich shop at lunch, my smart watch tells me I can easily walk more than 10k per day.  Walking 10k per day is not a big deal unless there's another reason for this.

See a sports doc, they should be able to help much more than a GP.

A GP once told my brother "You do realize of course, that as soon as you stop lifting weights, all your muscle will turn to fat."  He laughed and said "You're fired."

@BobTheOldLifter I have had many overuse injuries over the years. I have a high tolerance to pain and keep working out no matter what. I had a knee replacement in July 2018.

Fasted cardio 
8 kilometers treadmill (15% incline) and another painful blister.

After breakfast 
7 kilometers walk

I watched a TV show in London (Trust me I'm a doctor) and it has been proven that while men lose more fat doing fasted cardio, women on the other hand lose more a couple of hours after breakfast. From now on I will split and do 5 kilometers when I get up and more later in the morning or afternoon.

I started having blisters when walking on an incline. Not sure there's a link. I might need new insoles or thicker socks.
