Juan Manuel Marquez PhysicalTrainer: No Long Distance Running!

[.::|ULTIMATE|::.]

Boxing is an anaerobic sport. Long distance running is an aerobic activity. Advances in sports science advocate for short and explosive training to boost cardio for sports like Boxing.

That is exactly what the Physical Trainer said.

i think he stopped doing the long distant running so it wouldnt effect hes weight gain. this is prob gonna make him alot more sluggish in the ring

Lol, your point? He's exactly right. Long distance running is really pointless for Boxing.

yep. since when was a boxing match like a half marathon? especially against someone like pacquiao? (mosley excluded).
LSD (long slow running!) is also highly catabolic so excluding doing it could help someone wanting to put on weight, like marquez.

True.

Though you can't do high intensity intervals more than 2 or 3 times a week because your body wouldn't hold up. I doubt they ditched long distance running completely, they are just combining hit runs with long distance runs.

Marquez's trainer knows his stuff so don't worry about his conditioning.

I'd say that Marquez's track record shows that no changes to his training have to be made. He has never lacked stamina, speed or explosiveness.

I just saw a video of an interview of Marquez's trainer and he said they didn't do any long distance running. Still did the running but not long distance.

Damn, what do you guys think about that. To me that changes the formula of past Mexican greats that have always done long distance running. Will the change affect his staying power or ability to recoup/ or conditioning in a fast paced fight?

Lots of variables in the Marquez camp... I don't know if I like it what do you guys think.

It's pretty simple.. he has been trying to gain muscle, long distance cardio would have severely hampered those efforts.

btw have you a link for that interview?

Thats what I was thinking. Defiantly curious to see how he looks and if he can actually go all the rounds

In their defense, 3-4 mile runs inst exactly long distance running. I think Manny does 8 mile runs, but he does mainly hills which is much more like plyometrics than your regular flat-land jogging.
