Monday - Boxing
Tuesday - 3 mile run Wednesday - Boxing Thursday - 3 mile run Friday - Boxing Saturday - 3 mile run Sunday - Boxing, 3 mile run right after Bassically my gym is only open for 4 days with sunday being open only from 1-3pm and the rest from 4:30 - 8 Im trying to figure a good balance, because this week i acually ran for 3 consecutive days in the mornings, while last week i went twice in a week with 2 days rest in between. I went to the gym the past 3 days with sort of sore legs and wasnt really able to give the gym my all like i usually can. I don't want to overwork myself. Im considering sprints when i build a better base of cardio. I honestly just started to take training more seriously since i finally decided to quit drinking alcahol completely even though i only drank once every few months, i had a bad habit of binge drinking whenever i do so im done with it. |

It's really hard to give advice when we don't personally over see your daily work out.
You should be able to do both your 3 miles and a gym work out on the same days without alternating. If your gym time is over 2 hours, then maybe run two or three times a week. Need more details for better advice. Don't be afraid to put on the work. |

You'll find 2-3 sprint sessions and a 3-4 mile run once a week will give better results than 4 3 mile runs. |

I wanna be prepped for my first ammy bout when it comes to cardio I want to be able to go cardio wise. Im planning to compete competetively. I woke up wwith a sore throat today, first I've gotten even close to sick in the past two years. Did I overrtrain myself? I think I won't be trying 4 consecutive days of running.
Okay ill do just that, could you tell me what to start with though? I know first time really doing something will make my legs quite sore and I always have a habit of overdoing things. How long are the sprint sessions? Last edited by r1p00pk; 09-20-2012 at 03:47 PM. |

One thing is you need a day or two off, without a doubt. |

From my experience doing sprints has been much more beneficial than longer distance running. Saw a good rosstraining article a while back, Im sure its floating around the internet, that said to aim for 4x600m sprints with a min break between for a 3x2min fight. In prep for my first fight I worked up to about 4x400 (got sick in the month leading up so never worked up to 600m) and didn't gas at all on the night. Did that 2-3 times a week.
