I got my first fight coming up in 6 weeks. Its actually for thai boxing, having boxed for fun on and off for a few years at home. I'm now living in thailand , have trained for 3 months at Thai boxing and would like to get in the ring and test myself. I know that its thai boxing but I'm figuring sprint training is the same routine. I just don't want to get gased out early on and killed! Also is it a good idea to add calisthnetics (press ups / pull ups) into the session or just stick to sprints? I've also been told to do no more than twice a week and give the sprints a rest 1 whole week before my fight. Does this sound right? Any help would be appreciated , a bit nervous but up for the challenge!
Well I was always told to add five minutes to your cardio and those five extra minutes should be sprints. Never been discourage from any type of strength training either.
