Sme people say to me dont run as it ****s you back and knee's up. but i feel like ya need to do ya roadwork! its just a old school method that has worked for years. and i hate running machines.

just wanted to get your thoughts on roadwork?

Some form of cardio work is vital whether that be roadwork, treadmills, bikes, swimming or whatever. People who say roadwork ****s up your knees and back don't have proper running shoes

I got a 6-2 record without doing any serious running. Just ALOT of sparring, bagwork pads and cardio circuits. Had plenty of cardio in the gym.

I've recently started doing more running and after only a couple weeks I can already feel my cardio has gotten even better. I don't get as tired in sparring and I recover between rounds alot quicker.

If I had been running like this since the beginning I'd be undefeated. Both loses I was winning then ran out of gas and lost a close fight.

running is the most important part of boxing...if you don't do it you won't be good....it help bulid your leg muscle and your endurance....so when you in the ring you can take a body shot and bang for when those moment when people wanna brawl.....


people who say it fuk up your back and knees don't know sh.it. you back will be fine and you knees will actully get stronger as oppose to getting weaker

and make sure you rn in running shoes...i hate it when people don't run in the right pair of shoes

you must either be really talented or be fighting dudes with like 2 fights

I read in M&F about Wlad training he rarely runs.

Because of his size so instead he swims alot more from what I read in M&F.


running shoes is also very important to reduce the knee injuries.

as well as size of a person also effect the running.

Any form of cardio is vital to almost EVERY sport. IMO you should be prepared to go the distance because you never know whats gonna happen and you don't wanna be locked into a stalemate only to be the first guy to to falter.

If you are worried about injuring your knee's, get knee support. Also, support for your back if that worries you.

The road is softer than the path, and grass is even softer.

Invest in good running shoes. Mine are crap as I cannot afford any, but this does help lots.

do your your road work its vital.i go on a 5 mile run but i do it in 100 m sprints,it tires you much more .:crucified

You do 20 100m sprints? How long of a rest do you take in between?

juan diaz dosent run!

and you see his punches don't got any pop to em becazuse he don't run alot. your punching power come from the legs.

You will face fighters who are technically more skilled than you.

You will face fighters who hit harder than you.

You will face fighters who are smarter than you.

You will face fighters who have more experienced coaches and better cornermen.

Eventually, you will meet a fighter who is all of the above. And when this happens, you had better be able to outwork the motherf---er.

Running is everything. Windsprints, long runs, stairs, hills. Stairmaster or elliptical if you're old like me. (Every few months I switch to the elliptical trainer.)

If you get outworked in a match, you have no one to blame but yourself. That's your own laziness that just cost you the fight.

Why run when you can go to a class full of this...

**** man I never do any roadwork. I do lots of skipping, though. I can't jog in the area around my gym, the air is polluted with lots tuk-tuks and old motorbikes and old diesel cars on the streets. I f*cking hate it. I don't have a treadmill at home or at the gym (it's very old school with no modern machines) so I almost never jog. My cardio mainly consists of indoor soccer (futsal), skipping, lots of padwork and shadow boxing. That's it.

There's a local amateur tourney coming up in a couple of months time, too.

i dont have rest in between the sprints i do a light jog,this gives me a little time to recover.if you do this it will really benefit your stamina.

Not as important if you an amateur, you should do some kind of cardio work out and sprints.

it verys from person to person. Hilmer Kenty told me that he ran 2 or 3 miles per day and was a 15 round world champion fighter. Hagler ran 10 a day, everyone has an internal clock that ticks its own way......Rockin':boxing:

how vital is gas to a car?

Swimming is a great way to build cardiovascular endurance and it's very easy on the joints.

You may not be able to see the effects of running and roadwork but they'll eventually build up.

Anyway I'd say Sprints are more effective than running and jogging

Sprints are the more important part but any long distance cardio is also very important but this can be biking running swimming or yoga with proper breathing. with sprints you will see the difference while your actually fighting the long distance youll see in how much you recover in between rounds which can be just as important as what you do in the round

i agree with that

no he uses a stepper which is still technically some form of running

The step machine is no damn joke. It gets me more tired then running.

yeah but usally for bigger fighters they should run more effectivly. Because for a 200 lber runner effect on joints is more damaging that say 160 lber.


but for middle to lighter weight class running is the most effective thing.

The step machine is no damn joke. It gets me more tired then running.

yeah i used it.

it is very slow in action but you feel you quads and glutes working more. It more of a burning feeling like when you do weights.

with the step machine you feel like you are super slow after awhile of using it you body dramaticly slows down.

I really hate steppers.Cant beat a decent run.

damn man..everybody cardio this cardio that....
Boxing aint no fukin cardio sport damn!

is an Anaerobic..and glycolytic fueled sport..
so.... you do your road work accordingly

ROADWORK IS ABSOLUTLY ESSENTIAL

the right kind ..not jus wakin up at 430 an joggin miles on end..dat aint gonn do **** except make your heart stronger n (not a bad thing)make you loose a bit of weight... once in a while is good to do those runs of course

what you need to be doin is sport specific

i vary it alot but mosty stick to

20 seconds jogging
20 seconds sprinting ..hard!!!
20 seconds running

back n forth every 3 ..or 4 times i go n jog throwin 100 something punches in da air hard.... n den back again

another thing on jogging is the mental aspect.

Jogging for long time helps you get more patience that means you withstand the abit of pain for the last 3 miles gains you some personality and charater.

This stuff people dont look at it when it comes to jogging.

Another part is ability to think in the later rounds. When you jog you mind is more clear to execute the plan. If you look at couple of fighters like Floyd, Hopkins and Pac you will notice that there performance does not go down when at the round as well as ability to execute the plan.

I notice the other part is once I was ina a geological field trip and couldnt concentrate when I was under the sun for couple of hours. So in boxing is about the same thing expect you stamina lose is more of movement that heat wave/
