I Work as a running and cycling instructor, and host classes of 1-2 hours 3 times a week. As i am allready in the gym and it takes me 30 min to travel each way i like to get my strength workout in afterwords, usually lasts about 1-2 more hours. Problem with this is that after the cardio i feel somewhat fatigued, and i don't have as much energy left as i could have had.
I am conserned how much it will take away from my progress strengthwise to have such a long workout, i also read this article (link) that talked about testosterone lvl decreesing during long workouts. Any truth in this?

Would it be recomended to eat, like a protein shake or something in between, or is it fine just eating before the workout?
Also i would be interested in general thoughts on long workouts, both benefits and challanges!
