    I'm running 5k daily (around 3 miles) but I want to step up.

    That's just a mile in under 15 minutes. That's a major step down, he could probably walk that.

    Just run faster. As an amateur boxer you don't need much road work. 3 miles is fine, pros do that same amount. Don't over emphasize the roadwork, it is a better mental conditioner than physical conditioner.

    What is it with boxers always wanting to run?
    Cycling,swimming,rowing are great alternatives.what are you actually running for?
    How about actual boxing to get fit for boxing? Lol
