JP Fitness Forums - Personal Training - View Single Post - I'm bulking, so when should I eat the extra cals for some anaerobic activities?

Lost Dog · 09-11-2004, 02:13 PM

Despite my goal to put on some mass, I "need" to have 1-2 days of anaerobic activity in my routine. I don't really need it for health or anything. I just keep getting interested in fun sounding obstacle runs, sand challenges, etc. and want to be ready and able to keep up.

So, would I be better off upping my calorie average on a daily basis to make up the calories burned or increasing them on the day of the cardio activity? Or, a combination of both?

I've been making sure to eat enough before the cardio so hopefully I'm not eating up too much muscle. Each "session" is really only about 30 minutes. Occasionally, I take a 5k "run," but to limit my steady-state running when possible.

Any advice?
