If your cardio is high intensity, then it will wear you down as much as lifting. By high intensity, I mean a break neck pace (fartlek sprints, interval training, etc....over a 90% effort, I believe). If you're doing low intensity cardio, then it will have all of the benefits that everyone mentioned.

It's great to be able to control insulin, but the book you're reading seems pretty misleading. I think the author is being extreme...doing something "different" so she can sell copies. It happens a lot. Having a balanced meal doesn't necessarily have anything to do with controlling insulin.

Well I was doing more reading today:

And it looks like I HAVE definitely been sabotaging my workouts by running before my workouts..

Calorie-wise, recovery-wise, training intensity-wise.... :(

Damn!

Wish the light bulb had gone off earlier than this!

Will definitely do the running on off days..

Problem is, I started ALL of this a year ago because I wanted to get into shape for RCMP boot camp "Depot", where they like they're daily 5-7K runs.. :(

So if I slack off on the running, or cut it out entirely to focus on saving those calories for making muscle...

Thoughts?

just do some hiit a couple times a week...there is a good sticky on it in the fatloss forum.
