PacMan : 7000calories /day,2000 sit ups, 10 miles a morning!

At 7min per mile, would take him 1hr 10min. Doesn't seem that ridiculous. I do about 4miles every other day, then again I only go 3x2, he's going 12x3.

 

I suppose for an advert 10 miles a day sounds better than 10 miles every other day. lol.

Found this in another forum:

Must have up'd his distance or he just said it for the advert.

 

Imagine how good Pac would be if he had access to the collective knowledge of the ESB experts.

 

You should all go run 10 miles then a day it clearly is a big part of being a top professional boxer ......atsch

 

bn

 

most of the top collegiate level runners that do 800m and are 800m/1500m type runners will do 70-100 miles a week overall, my good friend boaz lalang who i shared a house with for 4 months is on about 80 miles a week and hes ran a 1:42 and 3:50 odd for a mile, nick symmonds is on 80-100 miles a week, i know that most of your run of the mill 1:45 guys are on 60-80 odd, when i was running i was on about 60 miles a week at my highest mileage then about 40 in the summer racing season even at 15/16 year old. What you fail to relise even if your running twice a day MOST (not all but most) of your high end and even collegiate runners will be doing two runs a day (some do choose to do all there mileage in one run but its not that common but is heard of) is that you run twice a day with maybe a 3-4 miles run in the morning then on your non workout days a 6-7 mile run all at a good pace. When i was training for 800m/mile i used to do

Monday - am 3 miles at an easy pace in about 20-21 minutes pm - 7 miles at 6:30-7 minute pace
tuesday - 3 miles easy pm Workout depending on time of the year maybe something like 6x1000m in under 3 minutes then in the summer maybe 8x300m in 41-42
wednesday 3 miles 20-21 minutes pm 7 miles 6:30 pace
thursday 3 miles easy pm workout again depending on time of year in the summer season this would always be speed like 10x200m in 27-29 average
friday am easy 3 miles in about 22 minutes pm easy 7 miles in 7:30 pace
saturday am hard workout usually fast 600 meters with alot of reps maybe something like 4x600m mile pace/200 jog/200m 800m pace (so taht would be a 600m in 92, 200m jog, 200m in 28, 400m jog repeat 4 times.)
sunday would always be a long run depening on what the milage was for hte week the run would never be shorter than 8 miles but never longer than 12.

in the winter its alot more mileage with maybe 1 or 2 workouts a week doing alot of strides to keep the race pace there then come april may you start brining more race speed and speed stuff into it.

iv got a link to my training if you would like it when i used to run in the NCAA to when i was 14 year old its on a spreadsheet and can easily be uploaded. my race times were good but not world class i ended up getting badly injured half way through my scholarship in the ncaa and was asked to leave this is why i ended up taking up boxing, but i ran some great times at a young age and have some great memorys of racing and winning national titles running for my country and of course traveling all over britain and america, expirences i will never forget and i learn ALOT from running and make some great great friends and for someone to come from where i came from to getting an education and all this expirence purely being abit faster than your average person was great. so of course i have a good indication of what a top class 800m runner training looks like.i personally ended my career with a 1:50 odd 800!

heres a link to one of my videos to show im not bullshitting. when i ran 1:56 aged 15.

I'm not saying that everything he does is right. Niether am I saying that it would work for everyone. All I'm saying is that if he does run 10 miles a day, then it certainly isn't severely harming his performance.

 

but is it benefiting him?? Im not saying its not but until he stopped running 10 miles a day no one will know.

I do feel pro boxers who go 12 rounds do have very different requirements to say an amateur boxer.

More so than the exercise itself for me personally its more a matter of time management and how that time could be better spent!

 

Good post. I thought the 100miles a week idea kind of died out in recent years, but there was definitely a time when volume was the way to go.

Anyway, my best 800 was 2:27 so I don't like you very much. :bart

 

Would he still have the same output, especially in the late rounds, without those miles? Doubt it.

Who are we to question the training regime of the current P4P no1 and highest ranked current ATG?

 

Exactly. It builds you so you can last longer in the ring. Try doing just HIIT and last 12 rounds throwing nearly 100 punches per round.

 

We're posting in the boxing training forum, I think if anyone has the right to discuss this topic it's the individuals in this thread.

Alot of top athletes excel in spite of non-perfect training habits.

For example there was an interview with Ray Leonard posted in a thread here not long ago that went like this:

Interviewer: ''What did you usually eat after going for a long run?''

SRL: ''I usually didn't eat much, just a cold glass of water did me''

I'm pretty sure SRL would have been better off getting some food in after his roadwork. It's in the 'Famous Boxers Training Regimes' thread, can't find it right now.

 

Regimen*

 

Misconception.

 

What we do know is it works for him, sure it may not work for everyone but it works for Pac.
