Difference between treadmill and roadwork?

Any guy in shape should be aboe to do 2 miles in 12 minutes.

 

Wow, your world really is black and white. atsch

 

uh yeah but why would outside be any better? and if your on a treadmill you can see your progress much better then if your outside. and you can adjust the speed on a treadmill but outside you can make a guess but your not gonna know if your really running 8.3 miles an hour. so you dont have to go a constant speed on a treadmill it goes as fast as you choose and you can adjust your speed to exactly the pace you want in seconds, thats not something you can do outside. and sure you can have a watch but how would you know how far you ran?

 

In the past I had to lose a lot of weight to make my weight class. I used the treadmill because it was really cold out in the morning. Sweating in the cold is really hard preventing me from losing weight. On the treadmill I would adjust the temp. to 90 degrees and use the sauna suite.

 

now that your daddy cross-trainer is gone you are back, remember when he exposed you as a woman?

i don't understand why anyone would come on the Internet and pretend to be the opposite gender without being homosexual.

 

Random inclines/declines, in the fresh air, to me it feels a lot harder outdoors than on a treadmill.

It's not difficult without a treadmill - set a distance, work out a route, set a time and always try to beat the last time... If you beat the time you're improving.

And? It's the intensity that counts.

So to you this is a good thing because it makes the job easier. Why would you train for a sport which is never at a constant set pace with set pace training?

That my friend is known as a map :good

 

2miles in 12minutes is 10mph for 12mins...

everyone trains for different things and there is such thing as a standard for in shape in general but if you say in shape for boxing i would have to disagree with you.

i would have to take the risk and disagree with lots of posters here. running on the treadmill and on the road is 2 different stories, on the treadmill it actually works your calves more and can force you to keep at a certain speed while improving in terms of length, while running on the road you can be going slower and slower just reach a distance

so both have their pro and cons, i would suggest both if you have the time for it.

 

So what's the big deal about 6 minute miles? :huh Women win marathons at a higher speeds than that.

 

you can get around 10 random guys at a fitness gym and i can bet you a good 8 of them can do that.

you can find 100 random high school kids and i can bet that a good 90 cant do that.

being in shape itself has no standards, you can do 12 rounds of 3 minutes and cant run 3 miles or sprint 8sets of 800meters in 3minutes and wont be able to slowly run 6miles, vice vera.

lots of things in life arent too hard and not a big deal but people just cant tend to do it

 

Back in the old days of boxing when nobody was worried about strength training, nearly everybody had a higher level of fitness than modern boxers. Championship fights were 15 rounds, and most boxers were well prepared to go the distance. Today it is now common to see men going into championship events and showing clear signs of fatigue after only a few rounds. Maybe they are stronger, but they sure as hell aren't fitter.

 

if you can run 2 miles inunder 10 minutes then you might as well just quit boxing right now.

 

It's always rough when it's Butte. :yep Good to see another Montanan here; you competing?

 

What? You should just quit posting on the internet and go back to remedial English.

 

lol it was a joke. it doesntmatter how fast you can run the mile. you can be able to run a 4 minute mile or a 20 minute mile and have to boxers of equal conditioing. it doesnt matter
