when i do 2 seesions , i go first thing in morning.. then have a few meals.. then train.. then have about 2 more meals and then do another cardio session. if u do it right before bed, you'll be some protein right afterwards.

If your going to do it that way you could do AM cardio on an empty tank then right after you lift...

An hour on an empty stomach may deplete you unless its low intensity. I prefer to break up my low intensity cardio into morning, then if I want to push my heart, say better my 5k times, do that in the evening.

yeah, i try not to do any cardio even close to bed time. Usually if I do two sessions, i do it within an hour after my workout. Now whether or not thats "optimal" or not, i dont know. But youre already doing great by doing it in the am on an empty stomach. *golf clap*
