He's training for boxing, he's not training to become a slow middle distance runner. He already said that he's running everyday (which really isn't necessary) and it's not working for him so he obviously needs to train differently than he is, not add some extra slow miles.
There are some good bag drills that are for testing stamina. I love all the running routines because theyre tough but also keep sport specific training in mind.
Intervals. 2 or 3 minutes as fast as you can 30sec-2minutes rest in between (start with two minutes and gradually reduce). Honestly, if you're already putting some miles in several times a week and getting some sprints in as well it could be a pacing issue during sparring, possibly a breathing or relaxation issue. Could be anything really, do you get enough sleep? Enough food? What other supplementary training do you do (ie, bagwork, pads, circuit training, weights?)
If somebody is running 3 miles everyday they are not running it quickly, that's in running terms and especially when it comes to what is required for boxing fitness. You can't do the same thing everyday and expect to improve, a runner who knows what they're doing does different sorts of runs. Boxing fitness requires intense boxing training, if you want to run to supplement your boxing training it needs to be intense and close/at Vo2 max for as long as you can handle. Unless you're going for a recovery run or trying to lose a bit of extra weight. Nobody at any level should be doing the same thing day after day when it comes to training for fitness, unless you're happy with poor results.
some one can easily run 3 miles a day quickly. whats your little interval average? 4 mins sprinting at what 14 mph and walking at like 4? so thats 9 mph average then 4 min rest so thats 4.5 mph average.........pretty slow if you ask me.....or are you saying sprint and rest 16 times so 8 mins at 14/4 so still 9 mph average then 4 mins break which would average out to 6 mph which is alittle faster but still not that fast.
This. Sprint 50, jog back and sprint again. Go for 10-20 minutes straight. 100,200,400,200,100,200,400,200,100 with 1 minute rest in between each sprint.
Your running sounds fine, except I'd cut back so you get 2 days off per week. Two days of hard sprinting/short intervals, 2 recovery runs, and either another recovery run or a mid-distance interval run. But the real way to get that stamina up is bagwork and conditioning drills. Try doing burpees/heavybag 30sec/30sec for 3-4 3min rounds. You do that 2-3 times a week and you WILL improve. Shoot for like 8-10 burpees per set to start out, and try to get more every time. (you're basically starting out at 100 burpees and trying to cram as many more into the rounds as possible. It's gonna hurt a little.) I'd start out with shadowboxing instead of heavy bag, because the burpees alone are gonna be enough to half-kill you. So yeah, hard roadwork and hard gymwork. Eat lots and sleep lots!
Look, I don't know you from the next guy but you seem like the impatient/nervous/wired sort...this might be why you feel tired prematurely when you're sparring. I've seen situations where guys are in phenomenal condition but were always wired or anxious for some reason or another and would burn out way too quickly as a result. Of course it's still very possible that you're body just isn't responding to your training but temperment usually plays some role...assuming the information you've given is accurate.
Intervals and the odd fast paced longer run for me! Intervals for lactic threshold development and longer runs for improvement to aerobic capacity. Lefty is right
It's nothing to do with average speed- it's to do with muscle fatigue and heart rate. Ylem ur posts are clueless at times! Do u come on this forum to learn or teach? It seems ur doing little of either!
Why in the hell would you include rest in the average? Why in the hell would you want to find an average when it comes to interval training? Are you ******ed? Oh wait, I'm talking to Ylem, nuff said. I'm not gonna waste my time explaining anything to you in the future, you really are dumb as a pile of bricks.
15/15 intervals do nothing for your lactacid acid threshold. you either need to drop the rest o 10 or boost the entire interval. with 15/15 you work vo2 but you dont actually hit max vo till the end of the routine and you never get much lactacid acid built up either. with 1 min intervals you dont ever get to max vo2 with 1 min not being enough work and 1 min rest being more then enough to bring your heart rate back down. it seems that 2-3 min intervals with 2-3 min rests build up lactacid acid to work lactacid acid threshold and allows you to hit peak vo2 max by the end of each interval. my opinion, hit the bag all out for 3 mins rest for 1 hit the bag all out for 3 mins rest for 1 hit the bag all out for 3 mins rest for 1 hit the bag all out for 3 mins rest for 1 shadow box all out for 3 mins rest for 1 shadow box all out with out gloves for 3 mins rest for 1 every other day while you continue with your 3-4 miles runs working on improving your time on them.
