      Can you just not run, or can you not do anything that has heavy impact on your legs/knees? It depends what your exact injury is.

      Swimming is good because it is very low impact but still a good workout. Try the different cardio machines at the gym to see which ones you can do (again, it depends on what your injury is). If it's your ankles you should be able to use a stationary bike, airdyne or a rowing machine. If it's your knees you'll have a harder time finding something.

      Then there's always bagwork, burpees, skipping etc.

      Let us know why you can't run and we can help better.

          I love running in the dark. In fact, I'll only run if its later than 10:00 p.m.

            Minute drills are a good alternative when your stuck inside and you dont usually need equipment:

            Burpees x 30 seconds
            Mountain Climbers x 30 seconds
            Jumping Jacks x 30 seconds
            Pushups x 30 seconds
            Prisoner Squats x 30 seconds
            Up-Downs x 30 seconds
            Rest for 30-60 seconds do 4-6 rounds

            Or conditioning circuits

            10 medicine ball woodchoppers
            15 medicine ball slams
            10 burpees
            -as little rest as possible only between rounds, 8 rounds

            Theres some other free workouts in the articles section at rosstraining.com

              Do explosive drills, that makes my stamina shoot through the roof.

                    Actually its a win-win situation. If they chase you, you work on your stamina by running away from the ****ers. If they catch up, you work on the boxing skills
