I've been ill all week I am actually due to start my fight training for my Southern Area title match Monday... It's gonna be really intense and just looking at it is currently making me feel a little sick, haha. I got the program I am going to follow from Sean Wright, one of my favourite Nak Muay's, who is a real, real conditioning monster. A lot of stuff is from Rosstraining & GymJones. I liked the workout because Sean like many modern day boxing conditioning coaches doesn't believe in 6 mile runs each day, he believes more in short, but intense workouts such as sprints, burpees, minute drills and bag drills... all coupled with around 10 rounds of pads and 10 rounds of bag work a day.

I have just started working full time (following a week of being sick as heck!!!), so my workouts have been a little squashed, although to be honest I've still been spending 2/3 hours a day at the gym and my workouts seem a lot more intense and this can only be a good thing for boxing I guess. I have decided that I am going to use these two weeks to build up to the schedule I posted earlier in the week because it means getting up at 6:00am, which I am too lazy to do right now Monday 2 mile run - 15 minutes, 26 seconds 5 x 2 minutes - Heavy Bag 5 x 2 minutes - Thai Pads 100 x right kicks 200 x push kicks 3 x 3 minutes sparring 2 x 5 minutes Thai pads 200 sit ups Wednesday 6 x 2 minutes Kickboing sparring 2 x 5 minutes Jujitsu sparring (2x tap out opponent) 50 x right kick 10 minutes skipping 30 minutes technique (20 x 10 techniques full power) Sweet 15 (rossboxing modification) 15 seconds all out punching / 15 seconds rest x 8 (4 minutes) 30 seconds low squats / 15 seconds rest x 4 (3 minutes) 15 seconds all out punching / 15 seconds rest x 8 (4 minutes) 15 seconds press ups / 15 seconds rest x 8 (4 minutes) 200 sit ups (50 evil dead, 50 L side crunch, 50 R side crunch, 30 Crunch, 20 Alternate touch toes) Thursday 5 x 2 minutes Kickboing sparring 2 x 5 minutes Jujitsu sparring (4x tap out opponent) 100 x Right Kick 10 minutes skipping 30 minutes technique (20 x 10 techniques full power) Sweet 15 (rossboxing modification) 15 seconds all out punching / 15 seconds rest x 8 (4 minutes) 30 seconds low squats / 15 seconds rest x 4 (3 minutes) 15 seconds all out punching / 15 seconds rest x 8 (4 minutes) 15 seconds press ups / 15 seconds rest x 8 (4 minutes) 200 sit ups (50 evil dead, 50 L side crunch, 50 R side crunch, 30 Crunch, 20 Alternate touch toes)
That's a nice program. The problem with me and that sort of really detailed program is that if I missed something I would feel like I wasted the day so prioritise bro! Keep up the good work.

Just reading your logs makes me want to be back in Thailand. Not long to go, heading back out in March!!

For anyone interested, my diet is the exact same pretty much every day: Breakfast - Fruit & Fibre (80g) + 1 wheatabix = 400cal Brunch - 2 Apples = 120cal Lunch - 3 pieces of bread = 350cal, Dried Fruit = 90cal Pre Training - Handful Raisons, Apple + Chicken + Caffine Tablets = 100cal Tea - Fish/Chicken with Potatoes and Peas/Vegetables = 500cal Dessert - Yoghurt - 100cal Hydration - 8 x cups of tea = 200cal Total = 1860cal
I think your diet is in need of some fats, nuts and flaxseed oil would make good additions, but also animal fats from butter for example. You really do need them, especially when working out rigorously. Also some herbs (both on food and in tea), onions, garlic. Add cinnamon to your yogurt for example, tastes great and it's very healthy. Yogurt + apple + cinnamon + flaxseed oil = fast yet complete meal. Is "Fruit & Fibre" a brand name or something? If it is I would ditch it in favor of fresh fruit, and vary a lot. Same goes for vegetables, vary as much as you can. I'd also can the wheatabix. Your diet is rather low on protein. I'm not one of the protein shake junkies, but I think each meal should contain at least some quality protein. Unless you are trying to lose weight I'd up the calorie intake, I wouldn't last half a day on that.
A better example day would be (making it up as I go along, tomorrow should be different): Breakfast: Cottage cheese or yogurt with pieces of apple, half a tablespoon of flaxseed oil and a decent amount of cinnamon. Brunch: An apple and a glass of whole milk (unless you're lactose intolerant). Lunch: Two pieces of bread, two eggs, and some orange juice. Pre-training: A handful of raisins and nuts. Tea: Fish/beef/chicken with potatoes and vegetables (broccoli, spinach, kale, carrots, peas, etc) Desert: Yogurt with strawberries Hydration: 8 cups of tea. Green tea, white tea, redbush, mint, whatever be creative. Add some herbs as well.
