Also, I know this sounds laughable but I already trashed the fasting. I probably did it wrong, but on days I was fasting and had to train I couldn't put in the intensity I wanted and I could barely get my Heart Rate above 190 or 95% for extended periods of time until I had to stop to catch my breath. I might try it again in the future, but I think it's hurting my performance and that's what I was afraid of, and also the recovery aspect but I seemed to recover easily enough.
I did 20-hour fast tuesday-wednesday and thursday-friday, and a 24-hour fast sunday-monday. Monday I felt terrible the whole time, and it would probably get worse now that I'm upping the workload by twice as much as before. Usually 6-7 hours in the gym and 4-5 outside, now it's going to be 20-25 outside and 3-4 inside. Which means I probably won't be keeping a log of my fitday during those multi-day or several hour days, mostly because I'm cramming carb gels and eating inordinate amounts of nuts and dried fruit which can get up to 5k+ calories a day, but I will monitor my diet on strength days and also recovery/rest days.
