Can you over train when it comes to cardio?

should I do cardio every second day instead of every day to avoid over training?

Cardio should never be done daily. Unless you are some specific top level athlete who will earn a living with cardio.

Depending on speed/intensity that can easily eat into the muscle gain/retention. Better walk outside 20-30 mins daily. More intense cardio should be limited.

I do 10 minutes of intervals on a treadmill every time I hit the gym. Depending on the weather and season I'll jog to and from the gym as well. I think there's no harm in it, just helps you with a deficit, or to make up for some unhealthy dietary choices.

I guess going too hard can cause some knee/joint issues over a long run. And if you've heard of David Goggins story, he has pushed himself too far at marathons before, to the point of severe dehydration, toenails falling off, kidneys shutting down, pissing blood and needing to stay at a hospital.

Depending on intensity and duration, if you also lift heavy, it'll affect recovery.

Simple as that. Walking 30-min to an hour isn't cardio. Maintaining 150-160bpm for an hour or longer is cardio.

There have been studies done on this… cardio does not degrade muscle

2023 and can’t believe Misc 2012 bro science still in full effect

Look up Nick bare on YouTube. Guy runs 100m marathons and runs a chit ton while lifting and he’s yoked

lol shut the fukk up dude, you're talking such bs. Just stop trying to give advice to people.

Having a 5k run/swimming/bicycle etc daily is about the healthiest thing a human can do.

Wrong. Where did you come up with that bs definition?

Shut the fukk up. You haven’t played a sport or ran a mile in 40 years.
