I eat dinner at 5:30PM and then that's it - nothing until 4AM which is when I wake up to train. This gives me an 11 hour fast and I wake up feeling wonderful.
Aerobic training is what Luka has to adopt this offseason. Consistent aerobic training will train his body to use oxygen more efficiently. But more importantly, train his heart to operate lower at all times (while resting, functioning as normal, training and playing games) as a lower overall heart rate demands less energy. And when you're more aerobically fit, you simply have more in the tank which helps you practice/pursue your trade.

Ultra endurance athlete is impressive. I've slowly adopted intermittent after a probably not super healthy fast before the wedding. Like you I dont eat after 6:30ish, and dont eat again until 630-7 the next morning. 12 hours is about the best I can do without forcing it. I know a lot of people do 14-16 hours, but I cant do that consistently.
Exercising, I never had the endurance growing up. I hated running, even though I played sports my whole life. I was one of the slowest on the bball team besides the centers when we ran around the track everyday. I force myself to get on the treadmill 2-3 times a week now. Im 35 ftr.
