    I've noticed that I get a lot more out of my runs if I go in the evening or late afternoon.

    I heard the very old timers of 100 years or so ago went on long power walks.....
    A Guy like toney probably never ran as a heavy yet never had a big stamina problem....Same with benitez and some other notables...
    Just food for thought.....

    Boxing is mainly an anaerobic activity so technically running isn't required. The higher levels of anaerobic fitness you have should increase your boxing stamina theorically.

    ..............That's not true at all. The glycogen stores from your meal the night before will get you through just fine.

    Just a question. What is you're diet? Are you a big person?

    Huh?? If you're fighting one round maybe. Otherwise, you can damn well bet boxing is an aerobic activity.

    It obviously isn't smart to avoid aerobic training in boxing but technically its not required as boxing is approximately a 70% anaerobic sport. If you just do anaerobic training it does not mean that you'll fatigue when moving in the ring, thats an old school myth, sports science proves it. Training should be sport specific so in regards to boxing, intervals or intense fartlek sessions are better suited for stamina.

    yes but running when you wake up forces your body to make glycogen stores primary to take energy from. no one is going to have 0% fat ..
