I ****ing hate road work

Haye does do roadwork. He runs for 45 minutes every morning.

 

Some roadwork of some kind is a good thing, but u can do other things too. Burpees, jump rope, circuit training etc will help build conditioning and make things more exciting. Check out http://www.rosstraining.com/articles.html for good ideas.

 

I used to run this in high school, hardest ****ing race in the world

 

Thanks for the replies lads.

 

Some of the toughest athlete's i know 800m guys..!!!

Whatever way you run it, it hurts.

 

I've heard people say "A maximum 400m race has often been described as hell on earth"

That must mean an 800m race is hell and back!

 

It is, not to brag but I qualified for state in the 800 (I got blown out of the water) and this race alone is the reason I quit track.. I hated it with a passion

 

Funnily enougth 2 years ago, I trained a 16 year old 1/46 his pb was. Only ran twice a week. most of the work was the gym, in a season He improved His PB by 13.4 in a season. Secret not a lot of impact, and injury free.

 

1min 46seconds over 800m at 16.? shut up mate.....

Don't be silly.

 

Yeah I call bull****, that's collegiate time.... at an elite level actually

 

I love running. Constantly pushing my speed and endurance, it´s amazing.
I love the feeling after a long hard running. Take a nice long shower and just lay down. Somewhat of a heaven to me. Gives me energy as well.

 

is it true that for boxing you have to build up base cardio first (by doing roadwork) then do some sort of interval training (sprints or something)? I think I kinda read that that in one of the threads here. I'm trying to develop my boxing cardio and I'm really starting from scratch (because I'm as fat as ****) so a bit of help would be great.

 

I don't think slow running is good for boxing.

But, I do it for recreation and to get me into the zone.

I hate getting chased by dogs though.

 

I started slow. Gained some spped and maximized the distance. Now it´s about speed and rhythm.

 

i love running, sometimes slow, sometimes fast, sometimes intervals. depends on how i feel. Mixing it up is good and long runs clear the mind, love the buzz after a good run.
