the point of jogging

[Salty]

I use them hiking boots as they are better for your feet, but I wear Saucony's when it is hot. Jogging is so good for your aerobic fitness in the ring when doinf many rounds. People need to realise in boxing you need both types of fitness, which is why you need to jog as well as do sprints&plyometric circuits!


Treadmill will never be the same as running. Make sure you are well wrapped up when you go for a run in the cold! Wear a ski mask/football scarf/ski hat and wear Skins underneath a sauna suit with a waterproof sports jacket. be well wrapped up and there is no problem!

That is why you do interval running of different distances, thus targetting both systems at the right proportions, while also challenging yourself mentally.

the guys that say circuits are boring are probably A) doing a circuit an 8 year old can do or B) half-assing it

nice sharing!!

used to run everyday, but now not so much as i do bits in the gym. I'm going to get back onto it.

what's the point of jogging?, stamina? can't you get that just fighting/shadow boxing some rounds?
it does'nt help with explosiveness if your jogging, infact jogging will make you slower as it develops your slow twitch muscles leaving behind your fast twitch muscles, you could always go full burst everynow and then but is'nt it somethin you can just do anywhere if you want explosive legs to move out of the way?, you dont need to run, just polymetrics and do short fast movements to wichever point you desire

so what is the point in jogging?,
it's just weight control i imagine
jogging(even though that **** will develop slow twitch mucles)
it will help you get the weight you desire in boxing? does'nt something more explosive help you lose weight easier plus make you stronger(not to mention more explosive)?

what im sayin is, jogging to me seems pointless to the point of its only use is that after some good aerobics the body can put on muscle easier
other than that jogging is pointless and i dont see why people run 10 or so miles, 6 should be the max(and it should be a good paced jog not slow)

or am i missing somethin here?

but ofcourse i say this for boxers, if we are trying to be boxers, why are we running instead of boxing?

Jogging has a variety of good uses. Leg conditioning, burning off excess fat, and even getting the fighter used to mentally pushing forward when tired. Like my coach always says: "You can always tell who hasn't been doing their running after the first round."

Jogging is a "fun activity" for non competitive people.

If your a fighter you do "road work" to strengthen your legs so that when your jaw or chin get rapped your legs help keep you UP!

If you don't know that then don't be concerned because your not boxing anyone anyway.

best things someone can do is incorporate 2-4 Tempo runs a week in his routine, while having 3-4 intensity workouts (exp sprints with some variations and active rest in between sprints, also you could incorporate some plyo work in the workout...)

I can only speak from personal experience, but it definitely helps. It helps your stamina for those 3 rounds, it helps with leg conditioning, and definitely with mental fortitude. I could tell when sparring when I wasn't running those longer distances in the off days (only doing interval training/rope/sprints for cardio in shorter duration but higher intensity).

My breathing didn't feel as strong, and I didn't feel as light/mobile heading into the later rounds of sparring. When I started running again I could feel it in my legs that first week.

I wouldn't say its jogging as I feel thats prob slower than 8 min miles, and when you run you should be averaging 6-8 min miles for a min of 3 miles.

At the moment I'm doing those kind of split workouts.

It's good for heart health.

It definitely seems like if you have limited time there are better exercises to do for boxing, but heart health is just good for living a long, healthy life.

Great
You should also incorporate some plyo and some HIIT for 20min
