run on

A run-on sentence is a sentence in which two or more independent clauses (that is, complete sentences) are joined without appropriate punctuation or conjunction. It is generally considered to be a grammatical error though it is occasionally used in literature and may be used as a rhetorical device. An example of a run-on is a comma splice, in which two independent clauses are joined with a comma without an accompanying coordinating conjunction.[1][2] Some grammarians exclude comma splices from the definition of a run-on sentence[3], though this does not imply that such usage is acceptable.

The mere fact that a sentence is long does not make it a run-on sentence; sentences are run-ons only when they contain more than one complete idea. A run-on sentence can be as short as four words—for instance: I drive she walks. In this case there are two complete ideas (independent clauses): two subjects paired with two (intransitive) verbs. So long as clauses are punctuated appropriately, a writer can assemble multiple independent clauses in a single sentence; in fact, a properly constructed sentence can be extended indefinitely.

Remedies

* Use separate sentences. However, this may disconnect related independent clauses and cause some of the meaning to be lost:
o It is nearly half past five. We cannot reach town before dark.
* Use a semicolon. This maintains the connection between the clauses whilst ensuring a pause between the two ideas
o It is nearly half past five; we cannot reach town before dark.
* Use a coordinating conjunction.
o It is nearly half past five, so we cannot reach town before dar

He's always had an 8 week training camp. Of course he makes sure he's in shape before starting camp with Roach and Ariza.

are you confused?
the fight is on nov 13,
manny begins training sept 20,
that is 1 month and 3weeks of training,
not 1 month...
1 month training would equate to the fight being on oct 20
