yeah, I have a tip, its called do exactly what your doing for alot longer than how long you have been doing it, oh and stop going to TKD unless you are close to your camo belt. Cardio sessions are SUPPOSED to blow you out, if they are not then they are not hard enough or your not pushing yourself hard enough so its a GOOD thing not a bad thing you feel wasted after them. I know alot of guys around my gym that look like they are in great shape because they make it through whatever conditioning we are doing but come fight time or even sparring they totally gas because they are not use to pushing themselves to the very limit during those "drills" so its obvious you are working hard in the drills just keep it up!

oh and real quickly the amount you can jog has NOTHING to do with fight shape. That is a aerobic energy system not a anaerobic one like you use for fighting. Its an outdated belief that being able to run at 30% for an hour is going to be any help when you really need to be able to go 100% for 5 minutes than be able to rest and be 100% within a minute. Thats fight shape.
