Endurance training. Have to make sure I can handle the workouts!

3/15 Edited to

... Read moreFrom my experience, endurance training isn't just about pushing through workouts; it requires carefully balancing your energy intake and expenditure. I found tracking my daily calories and macronutrients, especially protein, carbs, and fats, made a huge difference. On challenging training days, I aim for around 3,800 calories, with protein and carbs to support muscle recovery and sustained energy. Incorporating a calorie budget system helped me avoid underfueling during sessions. For example, on one of my training days, my goal was to consume 3,818 calories while exercising enough to burn 1,103 calories, leaving me in a slight calorie deficit, which supported fat loss without sacrificing endurance. Prioritizing carbs helped maintain glycogen stores, while adequate protein preserved muscle mass. I also pay close attention to the fluctuations in energy needs based on workout intensity and volume. Endurance workouts can be highly demanding, so managing fatigue by adjusting nutrition and hydration is essential. Remember, consistent monitoring combined with tuned nutrition supports longer, higher quality training sessions and ultimately better endurance performance.

Why I train both muscular strength and endurance
When I first started lifting, I only cared about strength. I wanted to move heavier weight, hit new PRs, and see that progress in numbers. But then I noticed that I’d gas out halfway through longer workouts. My form would break down, and some days I just didn’t have the stamina to finish strong.
