Conditioning for AM boxing?

[jberg]

ok heres my take: the more stamina, the better. if you can last 15 rounds, your 3 rounds will be more intense than someone who can last 7 rounds. because its all relative.
i dont care what anyone says, 2 miles a day (a fairly short distance) does nothing but good.

I never run long distances , my coach says i should but i just do spinning, 3 min as fast as i can and 1 min rest. i do this 3 times a week for 15 mins each day and my condition has inproved greatly.

Whats spinning?

On a sidenote: longdistance running won't give you legstrength right? I suppose wallsits and calfraises are necessary in a boxer's training? Or are those alternatives for sprints?

Also Jberg, I still doubt whether what you say is relyable or not. A 200m sprinter will do better at the 200m than a 500m sprinter wont he?

Anyway, thanks for the advice and toughts so far everyone!

I run for 3 miles at a time every mon-fri.... it's really really helped my fitness, all round my fitness levels rose dramatically when i started taking running seriously.

Then i added days where i would do sprints... and it helped even more.

RUN, RUN, RUN... i cannot recommend this enough. It will also keep your weight off, if you are troubled by it like I am.

Fietsen met zon fiets apparaat



3 min zo snel als je kunt zodat uw harstlag boven 170 is en dan 1 minuut rustig fietsen en zo 4 rondes volhouden.

K merci

Btw if it matters I don't really have trouble with my weight. I have a fatpercentage of 15% atm...
I noticed most people in this thread recommend running because it really helps their fitness level. But my actual question is if you really need that fitness level when you're just fighting 3 rounds?
For example in those strongman competitions you see those people doing extremely intense exercices that are very short. Kinda like how 3rounds of boxing are. Those strongmen don't care about their cardio I think. I know am boxing is very different from weightlifting and that stuff but it's also very different from sports where matches take like 1h30min like football, basketball, running etc... (I think!)

ok your saying that a 200m runner would be better at 200 than a 800m runner. however, this analagy is skewed. this is because, as the distance increases, time per metre decreases due to the effect of fatigue. however, in boxing, somebody with the stamina to last 12 rounds at the same workrate as someone who can only do 3 rounds at that work rate will be more successful

Is that serious or sarcastic? Hard to judge over the net.

I was being serious....

No sarcasm here...

[DA1CATAS]

DA1, your a well conditioned decent amateur, do you run long distance?

Yea i won't front.. I use to be all about the Running and sprinting alot ...

But lately I've just been doing more rounds on the bag and throwing loads of more punches...I was actually about to make a thread about the amount of punches everyone is throwing on the heavy bag over 4-rounds.. i go 6.


Anyway.. I've increased my punch output since I've started concentrating on mits and punching bag more....

running definitely doesn't hurt... But i only used it because i was eating like a slob before... Now that im takin my protein and got these new trainers.. i don't over due myself like i used too.

I still don't understand what you want from this thread? Long distance running improves your VO2 max and lactic acid threshold, intense training improves your anaerobic system. Train till your in fighting condition, you shoul be able to par 5-6 rounds at max intensity to be in "fighting condition" if you can't do this you need to do more work.
