Catabolism is nec. for the cylic nature of our body systems to function normally. However excessive catabolism is what the discussion is about.
Anybody involved in our sport needs to be wary of catabolism. Maybe you won't lose all of your hard earned muscle by doing 45 min. of cardio 4 days a week, but it for sure isn't helping the situation.
The more important thing we must look at is that while you are catabolic you are not creating new tissue. So if you are catabolic you aren't repairing the tissues that were trained in previous workouts, thus affecting future training sessions. I don't feel that 45 min. of low intensity cardio 2-3 times a week will make you wither away, but make sure your cardiovascular work is not impairing your recovery.
