Why do boxers do slow runs not fast runs?

Thread of the year material, this.

 

boxer like jim jeffries would oftentimes race people to 100 yard sprints while he traveled around fighting running it in low 10's. bob fitzsimmons would some times walk out 8 miles then jog back 8 or jog 10-12 at a reasonable pace as well as doing 8 or so miles sprinting then walking between telephone poles. john l sullivan would walk out 7 then 5 back and sprint the last 2.

boxers have been sprinting for quite some time.

as well running isnt just for cardio. when you exhale and inhale you dont add or remove all the air in your lungs only about 15-25% changes out and one of the most important things to heart rate is your breathing so when you run long distances you have all the time in the world to perfect your breathing and with perfect breathing your not just recovering for that 1 min inbetween rounds you recover every moment your arnt punching on top of it training your legs to support your body weight for a long period of time.

when your rowing swimming sprinting you dont have the time to perfect your breathing and that is why boxers run long distances.....but the good ones sprint too.

 

Running isn't as special as you try to make out, Ylem.

 

word yo....i see the light

Running sucks dont do it....

3*5 sets dead lifts and squats lift heavy and explosive!!!!!

ohh yeah its easier to shadow box while you jog then sprint as well.

 

Better than sprints because it builds stamina and if all the great champions of yesteryear did it and they boxed for 15 rounds worked for them it would be stupid to change a winning formula.

 

Don't ruin another thread with your childish, misinformed posts. I just said running isn't as important as you make it out to be. Running, sprints, prowler pushes, swimming, rowing and cycling are examples of great cardio. As a boxer you don't have to run.

 

Lol. Okay. Hopefully we'll find out how effective your training is when Brown Bomber spars you :good

 

This guy really has no clue. Its hilarious. I mean you dont box clearly so why even bother posting on here? LOL At you thinking running is just cardio. Big ****ing LOL. Some people...

 

He does not reply to my pms. And take internet too seriously out of 10. "Waaahhhh he said I can't do burpess right well I am going to find you and spar you." Jeff Thomas has issues.

 

1. I have no clue? Coming from you, that's hilarious.
2. I do kickboxing.
3. Running is just cardio... What do you think it is?

 

Grow a pair fanny boy

 

1. did you not read my post?

 

I ****ing knew it. Get the **** outta here. Go and post on a kickboxing forum. We dont want your kind on here. My records speak for themselves and have won more titles than you will even win. OMFG running is just cardio. Ok, whatever you have no idea what your up against here I advise you to back away swiftly to sucking Jeff Thomas ****.

 

I skimmed over your post. You think breathing for running is different to breathing for rowing and cycling?
