Carl Froch said he was running 6 miles in under 40 minutes

I agree with above.I box am and run 4.5 miles in 30 mins three times a week plus two shorter 3 mile runs which aren’t timed.

 

It’s a decent pace but really nothing special for a proffesional athlete. I was a middle distance runner up until about the age of 16 when I stopped completely then decided to run a half marathon 2 years later at the age of 18 with only 3 weeks training beforehand. Managed to finish it in 83 minutes so slightly under the 6.30 mile mark.

 

Lol behave

 

God there's some right dour tosspots in here

"ooooooh it aint that impressive Deardrie"

Of course it's bloody impressive

Carl's the Alpha male. You internet betas' insecurity seeps through in every post

 

The Cobra is an amazing athlete. You could tell but his durability and conditioning. He was always a tough fight for anyone.. More like a nightmare. I wanted to see him against GGG aside form weight difference.

 

You can watch aj 11.53 100m,its on YouTube

I do not miss the day of humping (more than I weighted at the time), jumping or dumping in the open

 

When he was active? That isn't too crazy for a boxer, actually. If now, impressive.

 

Sprints and hill sprints were key for him.


I do 5 miles on the road in around 32 minutes, and I'd only consider myself a very dedicated runner if compared to someone who doesn't run at all -- I've only ever been an every other morning runner, and was never overly focused on my times so much as getting the work in. Which is to say that Froch's time sounds about right to me, given that he's not any 40 y/o, but a former professional fighter with a taste for keeping fit in his retirement.

 

Froch's diary is the stuff of legend.

 

I believe it froch had great stamina one of his biggest assets.

 

Did a little googling, and he was quoted on this in an article published October 2014, so his retirement wasn't yet confirmed.
