Tabatas this often will KILL YOU!!

[anthony jr]

I think you way over doing it if you are competing for a amature fight. I don't do anything like that good run in morn bag work pad work usual push sit up routine and some hard quality sparring. there is no substitute for sparring

[ritson]

would i still be over doing it if i only do tabata's 3 times a week on the last week of training

[brown bomber]

You can't tabata sprint- its impossible. All your doing is a sub maximal interval run.

how is it immpossible to do tabata sprints

[vonLPC]

Anthony Jr. gave you some good advice, take it.

If you want all of your energy spent doing Tabata intervals as opposed to sparring then do them. However, you should be sparring as much as possible on your last week of training, as I see you have a rest week before the bout. Your training should taper off but not halt on the last week.

The tabatas will leave you "legless," which is an awful feeling when sparring. Conditioning should be a supplement with your sport, not a substitute. There is no way you could squeeze all this in and live to tell about it. I doubt there are many world class athletes that are in shape enough to do this or would even benefit from it. I base all this on the assumption that you are going to be at the boxing gym at least 4 times per week.

great advice guys thanks, so could any one give me a road work routine

[duwayne_cbc]

i run 30-45 mins in the mornings 5-6 days a week and i try to do a few sprinting intervals every other day during this run and my cardio in the ring is fine just focus on the boxing work and dont overtrain at home

[kimonerz]

That's not bad. Depending on your condition that should be a sold workout. But try to have sprints twice a week max and as far away from eachother as possible.

I think he means you cant sprint constantly at a constant pace. your body will naturally slow as you get more tired. i do tabata burpees at the end of a circuit session. these are pretty good. just keep hammering them out best effort. then interval session and hill sprints as well to mix it up.

You may be overdoing it a litle bit though, unless your training for a fight.

[Juxhin]

as they said.. do more sparring
