Cotto's roadwork?

I think they're focused on things other than running surfaces. They [robably don't know a whole hell of a lot about running.

 

A week of roadwork isn't going to damage anything short term or long term. It takes years, similar to how tennis players damage their elbows and golfers damage their backs.

 

a week is all thats needed...

i was running 3 miles everyday for 6 days in a row, i slowly started feeling pain but decided to ignore it, on the last day i felt a very sharp pain and felt a little 'click', i was out for almost a year with a torn mcl.

 

Cotto shares that he runs 3-5miles a day around the beach on his most recent Road to Bronx episode.

That means he typically runs 4 miles average. 4 miles isn't enough for a 12 round fighter. Now we know why he has stamina issues.

 

Cotto only ran on treadmills in PR...with Mayweather it seems like he does some running on treadmills during the day and hits the pavement at night.

 

thats bull****

running miles has nothing to do with anything

joshua clottey runs 12 mile marathons, his stamina sucks, evander holyfield ran miles occasionally and he had 12 round wars.

 

I never understood how people have knee issues so easily. I used to run 5.5miles daily for months, jump rope for about 20mins, and I never had any knee trouble. This was all on the pavement. Then you have people like Relentless who get knee injuries after doing 3miles for 6days.

I wouldn't say I have amazing bone structure, nor am I athletically gifted.

Look at the intensity of their training.atsch Cotto doesn't ever seem to let his hands go quickly in training. Take a guy like Mayweather who seems to LOVE running and training at a high pace. He doesn't ever have stamina issues.

 

running miles has nothing to do with intensity.

pacquiao throws thousands of punches and he runs miles only a few days a week, the rest of the weeks its interval training.

running distance does not work the energy system required for boxing, sprinting/interval training does.
