do you run every morning

When competing I run 6 mornings a weak. I mix it up however. I do some distance runs, some longer sprint sessions at the track, some sets of 100 and 50 meters at the track, some hill sprints, and some stair sprints. I mix this up based on how my body feels, and whether or not I need to burn fat. I have never even been remotely tired after an amateur match, so I guess it does benifit me. Sprint training improves your explosiveness and speed.

 

I'm sure sprints and hill running are more beneficial every other day or so.

 

Damn right they are. Doing them every day will just tire your legs, provide insufficient recovery time and mess up your training schedual for boxing stuff. This is why I mix this stuff with distance runs, light recovery runs, or if my legs are very tired - just take a day off.

 

Yeah, every other day is probably best for just sprints and hill sprints.
I am so out of shape.
Wrist injury has made me a lazy ****.

 

I don't right now. But I'm planning on starting in a month. I'm going to do sprints every other day, and long distance in between.

 

no, but need to get around to it eventually

 

I dont run everyday, but I do run in the morning on the day I go to the gym. I train in the gym 3-4 days a week, so I run 3-4 times a week. I wish I could do more but if I did id get shin splints that I cant recover from fast enough. Eventually I hope I can lengthen my training without risk of injury.

 

i run everyday

 

Six days a week. I do 800, 600, 400, and 100 meter runs, as well as two tempo, medium-distance runs. Train how you fight.

 

I never run outside, I feel weird doing it for some reason...

 

Good to see you back, Mach. :thumbsup

 

Okay, I'll volley a question back to you folks. I used to box, and when I did, no mention was ever made by my rather inattentive trainer as to how/howoften I should run, so I just did a brisk pace at maybe four miles a day seven days a week.

Now I run competitive road races, and my training is a bit more defined. I'm 39, and run four days a week, with one long day (10-20 miles depending on the race I'm training for), one speed day, which means either a tempo run (hard enough to be uncomfortable but something that you can maintain for the distance you need to run) or track work, like sets of miles with rest jogs in between. Between the speed workouts and long days, I run two recovery runs of an easy six miles at about an 8:30 pace. Are boxing workouts something like that now, or does it vary so much that it's a wasted question?

In terms of total fitness, a mixture is best by far from my own experience, as avk has described.

 

running first thing in the morning is bad for you, you have no energy to burn.

 

I've never ran in the morning but I did run at night when I was training. Now I prefer running on a treadmill because you can adjust the incline and speed. Currently I don't run a bit but if I did I would do Fartlek training to increase fitness levels aerobically & anaerobically.
