Here's a run I just finished 10 minutes ago.

You guys that are into running and have an Ipod should definately check out Nike+

If you have an Ipod get Nike+

I have been using it for months now and love it.

When I first started running I ran half a mile stopped. Now I can do 6-8 mile quite comfortably. It's the same as everything. The more you do it the better you get.

Another thing I've noticed about running is a lot of it is mental and not physical. I could run 3-5 miles when I was 240+lbs and in **** shape just because I refused to give up. 99% of the time when you feel you need to stop you actually don't. You just WANT to stop

This holds true for almost all forms of physical exercise, not just running.

I'm not saying that's far at all. I'm just saying I don't believe P4P king runs it. He's full of ****!!!

I don't believe you exercise at all tbh. But, nothing can be proved either way. I will upload a fight video in a few weeks if I get on to embarass my haters.

I agree Cartman, he's full of it.

I know who you are now.

this is not correct. elite level boxers built their gas tank over a number of years. a begginer has no business running 10 miles a day. 25-30 mins 3 times a week is a good starting place and is something you can realistically do, dont worry about the distance just get out and run at a pace that is taxing but sustainable for the time period.

it true but I want to say in other words that you have to push yourself to do an extra mile after while ot do it quicker. If you dont go near you limit or over it abit you wont improve

but ofcourse I wont say start running 10 miles per day for a person who just beging

i run 4 miles a day and finish in about 35-36 minutes, which means im pretty slow for an 18yo haha. I agree its mostly mental, on days when im feelin it i can get low 34 high 33, but other days i end up in the 37's. Also depends on your aproach, you cant start to fast...ect

Switch days from a 3 mile jog to about 6 or 7 600 meter dashes with rest in between. Need to build stamina in the legs with the long slow jogs and built anaerobic cardio with the sprints for flurrying in the ring.

I'm around the 11 and a half stone mark 5:9 and am trying to improve my 10k (six and a quarter miles) running times in a measured road run. Last weekend I was at 41 minutes 7 seconds but I'd like to get under the 40 min mark. The local elite can better this by a few minutes.

The 10k is a good run for boxers, quite fast and covers a similar completion time to twelve boxing rounds for fairly fit athletes.
