Whats better?to run 6 miles?or 3 miles at a fast timed pace? for conditioning

[Verstyle]

I try to run 3 miles,first mile and a half down hill and the last mile and a half uphill.All in under 25min.Or would it be better to run 6 miles and not get tired? I always thought getting tired was the point of running,but I see ppl running miles and not getting tired.Whats better for conditioning for a boxer in your opinion?

For a Boxer?

3 Miles fast

especially for an amateur, even for any boxer. 3 miles is plenty of distance. If you can do 3 miles quick, with intervals, then your cardio is in good shape.

Well I do it outside,I ran rather fast on the treadmill.I think I get alittle more tired on it though.

30 min(ish) a day is around prime (for the average boxer) you should be gettin' pretty tired, but the point isn't ALWAYS to be improving your running, at least not for boxing. No point in killing yourself in the run if it's just gonna have you shot for the rest of the day.

6+ Miles seems a little much to me, it seems like there's better things to do with your time and energy. Unless you're having trouble getting down to weight.

I guess I will continue with 3 miles

Once a week, nice long run, other times shorter and sharper

3 miles quickly is better for conditioning, you should be done within 19-23 minutes. If you run 6 miles, it's better for weight loss, because the duration is longer and you'll burn more calories.
