I admit it, I enjoy doing cardio. wtf??? you say. LOL
I enjoy running and various kinds of cardio. I have run in plenty of 5k ,10k type races. I am pretty slow at running distance races, but enjoy it.

You're lucky, i think it's boring as hell & gruelling for most, compared to lifting.

my shins hurt as well after a couple weeks of cardio sessions and I'll have to lay off the treadmill for a while but I love running using fartleks (yes fartleks) to get an intense workout in a short amount of time as opposed to spending a boring hour on the treadmill.

I enjoy it too, also serves a purpose.. I do some cardio after every workout. Recently alternating between HIT/interval style and long constant (65-75% target HR)

What kind of routines do you run?

Just random, or you have some kind of structure?

I've done a bit of fartlek, as well as shorter sprints.

Between the two, I actually prefer doing sprints, 50-200 meters, with fairly long rests in between.

I like going for a 3-5mile hike a few times a week. Cardio on machines is boring.

If you are doing it just to get lean, then just crash diet mate - you'll lose a bit of muscle and lift less for a while. BFD. But you'll get lean in about 3 weeks tops

When I want to get lean / drop some weight, I just live on coffee and noodles (maybe 2- 3 packs a day) for about 2 weeks - get's you lean in no time.

You do lose a bit of muscle, size and strength but once you've gotten lean enough, you can slowly start eating more, although you must eat less that what you are eating now cause otherwise, it'll take you back to the same base bodyweight.

It'll take you 3 months overall, to catch up and less if you juice.

Try it out - it's not going to kill you or anything

Fair enough. You've got tons of muscle and you're 240 or so, so you can eat a little more. And you don't have to eat what I've suggested - just keep the intake to under 1000 Calories a day and eat it in the form of meat - you won't even lose much muscle, let alone feel weak or worse, like a zombie.

And you can have cheat days every 4th day or so. Just go by what you see in the mirror and not the scale

I run a "miracle mile" trying to get the best time possible so I'll keep cycling between 30 seconds at a full peed sprint and 30 seconds at a moderate pace until a mile is completed. At that point i'm seriously sweating like Patrick Ewing under the hot lights of MSG in a double overtime playoff game! Once the mile is completed I'll jogg/walk until my heart rate returns to just above normal for a total time of about 9 to 12 minutes

I actually prefer running and circuits to lifting weights.

Probably why I'm a 168lb Tiny-tit.

I find cardio to be enjoyable..45 minutes on the stair master at the target heart rate is awesome. I have a mp3 player that plays videos also. 8 or so music videos and you are done.

but as kiwiol said diet plays a more important role. But I just feel better when I do cardio
