    Would you class the half marathon as an endurance event.

    This is a boxing training forum, indeed. But because many of us cross train it's allowed as long as it has to do with serious training. So if someone's training for a race, that's fine. The information can be used for cross training purposes so in theory it benefits us all. Backyard boxing is not allowed despite being boxing related, because it's not serious and it degrades the board.

    Threads like these are fine with me :deal
