I have a great one: "run frequently". If you want to improve on your running, that is. It's not the same as ring stamina, but you'll find that out afterwards.
lol. wel can you giveme something for ring stamina? its weird becuase i have ****ing amazing cardio for wrestling no one out staminaed me. samae with BJJ but anyhting with standup my cardio is garbage
Doesn't your gym do conditioning drills on the bag? I mean c'mon how do you condition yourself for throwing punches, by running perhaps?
well we do bagwork and **** but noting specific for cardio liek they tell us to run 3 miles wenever we not in gym
:rofl:rofl:rofl RDJ: Can you go 3 rounds? Hyptoad: i gotz mad stamina wrestling but suck at throwing pnchs. I gotz to run more i guess RDJ:?!atsch "Awww for ****'s sake....." When are people going to learn the difference between anaerobic andd aerobic????!!!! Running=aerobic throwing punches with "mad" stamina=anaerobic :think Not rocket science. Running is used more for weight cutting in my program. Fartlek as opposed to long slow distance running.
If your determined to run do intervals. e.g. run hard for however long your round is then light jog for a minute etc. Best thing you can do is lots of sparring and bag work for your stamina.
Amen Running (or rather roadwork) has its use to increase the aerobic base, aerobic glycogen burning does take place while boxing, especially in later rounds or if you're a "runner" (malignaggie style). Running on a forest trail with an uneven surface can also be considered an agility workout. I like running, but I don't expect much improvement in ring stamina from it. I use the improved cardiovascular endurance to improve my ring stamina with, but it still takes a sports specific workout to harvest its potential.
Surely a sticky on "combat running" would do away with all the subconcious "aspiring distance runner" questions. Even the military is slowly doing away with long slow distance running. Fartlek,hill sprints and other mixture of anaerobic/areobic runs would be considered combat running.
The sticky threads should read as the chapters in a book, we should ideally cover all aspects of training. One on proper road work geared towards fighting would definitely be a good idea. - Principles of training (specificity, overload, recovery, adaptation and reversibility, the different energy systems, etc) - Nutrition (explained, and perhaps sample diets / diet rules). - Roadwork / combat running / fartlek / hill sprints / etc. - Conditioning drills. - Boxing specific things, useful instructional video's from youtube for example.
