I am trying intermittent fasting for the offseason. No reason other than something to test since I am borderline mental about nutrition/calories.
I am trying the 16:8 fasting schedule. Been doing it for 5 days and it is working pretty good. But, I am getting exhausted in my morning swims. Luckily, I have always ran in a fasted state when training. I just always ran before breakfast.
But now, I am eating at 7pm, then not working out until 8am and I just dont have the energy. No way I could do a two hour bike ride.
For those of you who do 16:8 and workout in the morning, how do you get through your workouts?
