    Afternoon gym work (two days on, one day off);
    50mins of heavy bag or 12 rounds of sparring
    15mins of skipping (jump rope) focussing on calf flexion

    Strength work (two days on, one day off);
    Day 1-Squat (180kgx5x5)
    Day 2-Bench Press (145kgx5x5)
    Day 3-Rest
    Day 4-Repeat
    (Instead of adding 2.5kg weight to bar each week, David adds time on descend for a couple of weeks and then adds 5kg to bar)

    Circuit training (two days on, one day off);
    Weighted pull-up - 3x8
    Cable rotation to punch - 3x10 each side
    Russian twist - 3x8 (on exercise ball with weight plate)

    Evening running (two days on, one day off);

    When not training for a fight, David for one day on and two days off will do barbell rotations to punch for 3 sets of 8 reps, maintenance work on squat and bench press, then barbell rotations to punch for 40-60 reps, followed by 30mins of heavy bag and some circuits.

    I'm guessing he goes for the heavy bag if Tony Thompson is hanging about.

    I dont believe that for a second, he is more of an endurance runner than a sprinter. He ran for 45 minutes with Valuev and he has been running from Wlad and Vitali for 3 years without stopping.

    Not that I've watched him do 100 100m sprints, but trainer Adam Booth claims that's his running stuff. Hard to believe for me, too. But awesome if Adam's right.

    Virus that sounds tough, but its not really.

    David Haye does something called extensive Tempo, or maybe Intensive Tempo. Its one of the two man, because their is no way David Haye does any of them 100m at a high intensity, its more like a fast jog which he does.

    Allot of 100m sprinters, after their High Intensity days do something very similair. Charlie Francis had Ben Johnson, and all of his sprinters in the 80's do this to keep basic condition high, and keep them very lean. Because as soon as there is a 0.8 drop off in performance sometimes, during training sessions. Like if i was doing 8 x 60m sprints, and averaging 6.5 and suddenly ran 6.7..........most top sprint coaches would stop the session right there.

    Linford Christie, i know from first hand trains his athlete totally totally different from most of the other international sprint coaches.

    And then you have guys like Clyde Hart.

    David Haye should try.

    8 x 300 with 3min recovery. 80% intensity.

    He should try..

    2 x 200m 95% Intensity 1min recovery 8 min recovery between sets.

    5 sets

    If he wants a good sprint workout, he would'bt be able to stand after a real hardcore 200m/400m sprint athlete's workout.

    Don't even get me started on some of the **** i used to do with 400m/800m athlete's, some of the sickest *******s i know them guys.

    Thats not tough Virus, no way in hell.

    I think its stupid to be honest, i thought it was a smart idea for David Haye to do sprint conditioning. Then i found out, he was doing this ****..........

    it was on this magazine

    [url]http://www.boxingnewsshop.com/supplements/TRAINING.html[/url]

    Training for Enzo Maccarinelli Haye's coach Adam Booth decided to put him through a fitness test while in Miami . It would consist of sprinting 100 metres 100 times , each time under 15 seconds with 30-second recovery . Booth monitored Haye's heartrate throughout and after 80 sprints saw the boxers pulse registering 167bpm .That wasn't high enough so Booth reduced Haye's recovery to 15 seconds for the last 20 sprints. Haye completed them ,the last in 13.5 seconds .In total Haye effectively sprinted 10km ,though with a total of 30 minutes rest , but it's still an incredible feat of athleticism and surely proves the world cruiserweight champion doesn't have a stamina problem which many feared .

    Relentless just put the hard yards in for me.

    But, to add some context. As a state-level amateur, upon hearing of this feat by David Haye, I thought I'd have a crack at it. I went with 30 x 100m with the same parameters; done in unders 15secs with 30secs recovery.

    I've done plenty of harder sessions.

    I obviously understand I did 1/3 of the work; but, I'm an amateur fighting 3 rounds, not a pro fighting 12. A good effort, and good training too, but nothing alot of pro's could not do.

    But he does have a stamina issue. Look at the Thompson fight. Even the Ruiz fight.

    I remember reading that when it came out and I still found it hard to believe. Sure for a professional athlete sprinting 100m in 15 seconds might not be an amazing feat, but doing that 100 times in a row with 30 seconds rest (shortened to 15?!) seems a little extreme.
    I've just done a few sums (someone correct me if I'm wrong) but 100 sprints, with 30 seconds rest in between is actually more like 50 minutes rest (45 minutes if you count the last 20 as only 15 seconds rest) and it's a total of 25 minutes work time.

    This is the bit I'm calling bull**** on. He said he was benching that much for the valuev fight, and the guy has like a 42 inch chest - it's smaller than mine and I'm only 5'6. Unless I see video of him benching 145kg for 5 reps this is complete bull****.
