Yea nah nah you've got no reason to lie, like you said you can run all day so you choose to sprint rather then jog
If you're sprinting 200 metres then jogging 100 metres then subsequent 200 metre 'sprints' are not going to be sprints, more like runs. You're basically just doing aerobic training after a few 200 metres so it's not really sprint training at all. If you're running to get fit then you need to decide what energy system you want to target.
Ok I see. Its not called sprint training then. You are right. When I say sprint, I run at ~ 80% speed using long steps. What I do helps me, so tried to help the OP with the same. That's pretty much it.
Ray Arcel called it 'sharpening your wind.' What he suggested was this: Alternately sprint, run or jog, for varying durations. Have somebody call out sprint, for example, then "run". Keep up for 3 minutes, then walk as fast as you can for 1 minute, then start the next round. Do this for as many rounds as you are going to be fighting.
I don't think that's a very effective way of building fitness, you'd be better of doing intervals for three minute rounds, say 15 seconds on 15 seconds off. That way you can keep intensity high and stay around your VO2 max for longer to improve it. Running for three minutes is just aerobic training, after 30 seconds or so it's aerobic and you're not going to be able to get near your VO2 max.
Most of the guys already mentioned sprints and HIT workouts, but what I did that greatly increased my stamina was 4 mile jog 3 times a week, a 12 minute ( 30 second sprints and 1 minute jog keep cycling until 12 minute is complete, increase the time when you get better) 2 times a week. If I can't go for a jog then I would do 10 burpees, 30 mountain climbers, and 10 jumping squats then rest for 30 second then do it again for 3~5 rounds.
Nobody's saying burpees are bad, you just need to diversify the training. Burpees are a great conditioning too, but like anything else can be fairly limiting in overall benefits so definitely in moderation. And I don't think anyone can put a number on how many are good, but if your sparring sessions are lacking because your legs are too tired/heavy, then definitely do less burpees.
Spar, spar, and spar more. Hardly worked on conditioning-specific exercises besides jumprope and I just sparred+pads for conditioning and BOXING-wise (which is all that matters for competition), my stamina was awesome. As people said, nothing gets you prepared more for boxing than boxing itself.
It obviously isn't good for boxing the boxers now are worse and more out of shape than the ones from the 20's 30's ect...
Really why don't you think about the question dumb****... QUESTION: I've start doing 100 Burpees a day in 5 sets of 20, working up to 2 sets of 50 then adding another set to make it 3 sets of 50 a day. Also doing a few rounds of padwork a day with a training partner. I run 3.5 miles every second day but i feel like this isn't working should i be doing sprint intervals instead ? And im saying well maybe you should try doing it the way they did back then instead of sprinting ect and all the other crap they do now cause as you say its not working and back then they had better stamina... atsch
I was qouting your incredibly stupid statement that: "scientific advances arent good for boxing cause nowdays boxers get tired quicker" Think next time. So if Marvin Hagler ran in army boots 15 miles every day so should i right?Cause obviously it worked for him.
