Question about running

[Run]

Does everyone here incoporate interval running? From what i've been told not to do miles of road work instead just 2-3 minute bursts with a minute rests to simulate the output of a round. I've been doing 3x 1km runs with a minutes break inbetween, it kills me but i've found i recover a lot quicker now than when i was just running a longer run at a slower pace.

Anyone else been doing this sort of thing instead of roadwork, or should i be doing a mixture of both?

I say just mix **** up.

Do that and go back to your old routine once in a while. Because in reality, the worst thing you can do is do an actual routine, I don't think I'd have to tell you that. Your body gets used to doing it, and you won't achieve the same results any more.

As everyone says, you have to shock your body and that includes running. The 2-3 minute bursts are a good Idea to fall back on.

Thanks for all the advice thus far. Mickeyeyb and Run w/ knives you're advice has been really helpful. I've never heard of the straw thing you were talking about before but it makes sense. I'm gonna have to try that. I sparred two nights ago and finally made it through two 3 minute rounds without feeling like I had to puke or getting winded and having a totally dry mouth. I give all the credit to the running I have been doing in the last two weeks. I was still ****ing dead but I managed to get through them both so **** it, its progress. I'm gonna start running as much as I can, at least 5 times a week.

I run 4.5 miles 4 times a week at around 6.30-7 minute miles.i used to only run 2 miles a day but started pushing myself over the past 2 months and my fitness/stamina has improved so much i can't describe.

That interval training thing i do sometimes, it isn't too bad (especially if you havent got 30/40 mins to spare).

Outside my boxing club there is a basketball court. So what me and some of the lads do is run up touching the end line (is it the base line?...idk) then sprint back as fast as you can. Repeat this 10 times and you should have had quite a work out.

Christ knows, i havent done that since i was at school. I remember i did ok at it then... but i'd had a mars bar at break and P.E was straight after...so i buckled under a stitch and ****ed it up. haha.
