How often should I run?

depends on what your aiming for.........

 

You don't have to run that regularly at all.

 

Running wont get you in the best conditioning for boxing but it will help. ATM im doind long runs alot to try and lose weight not for fitness

 

3 times a week is enough, but there has to be a plan to it. Distance What and why. Intensity, how fit are you. Its getting the Balance right to progress.

 

Intensity works better than simply long distance running.

 

Ill throw something in, Try this, get someone with you with a whistle, to warn you off Danger, and where you are. Now find a Running Track, get in the centre lane, on a 9 lane track. Now run at 8o p/c max, down the track, the straight bit.with your eyes shut. If after 50 yards you are in lane 1, dont try intensifying your work you will get injured, your Biomechanics are wrong

 

running wont help you at all go do other things like swimming or biking

:hat

 

There is something that beats everything, for getting Fit, you will be Happy to learn.

 

You should run across a tightrope along a cliffside being held by two epileptics while balancing an egg in a spoon in your mouth, and running away from ferocious pterodactyls just to see a portrait of that heavenly blessed beauty drawn by caveman.

THAT's how much you should run, OP.

Is that really for fat people who can't be assed to stand up and go running?

 

No Tom,:rofl. Its actually for Elite Athletes, unless you are, you wouldnt last five minutes on it while everything is connected. You would produce 30% more Lactic than Running, but your Heart would be more efficient by 35% when lateral. Also it makes your CNS perform better. No impact on the Spinal Cord. Pop down the EIS, the Elite area, ask them to let you try it :rofl.
