Walking along, not in too much of a hurry, is about a 20 minute mile pace; walking at a no-nonsense pace is roughly a 15-16 mile pace. An old man jogging along is about 12 min/mile. A decent pace is 8 minute mile; a good pace is 6 minute mile; elite is under 5 minute/mile.

So if you're running for an hour you are doing at least 5-6 miles, probably more.

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 ****!!!

training for boxing is not about distance.

it's about intervals.

get an everlast timer, they're basically waterproof. when that 30 second buzzer goes off, you go into a full sprint. when the vibration stops, you slow into a shuffling ass jog until the next round begins, etc etc. when your stamina improves, throw some mini-sprints in with the 2 mins and 30sec before your 30second big sprint. that will simulate combinations. do this, and you will develop monstrous stamina for boxing.

I don't know about training to be a boxer. I'm sure there are days you work on your stamina and others that you work on intervals. One interval training I did, yrs ago, was 70 second 1/4 miles, rest 90 seconds and another 70 second 1/4 mile and so on. We did 5 miles (20 sprints). The first few 1/4 miles were a joke, the last few were torture.

I also think that a boxer would want some long-distance road work simply to build up his endurance, if for nothing else, to improve on his interval training. A teen-ager, twenty-something year old guy should be able to quickly get to 5 miles in 40 minutes (3mths if you're already in good shape) and then quickly get up to 7 or 8 miles in 40-50 minutes a few months later.

Again, I've never trained to be a boxer, but this doesn't seem out of sorts to me.

i just started on saturday. and i have done only 2 miles.

when i used to play baseball i used to run around the infield where the grass start for the outfield.
we ran the first couple time doing it in 60 second which it was pretty easy until we got it down to 35 second which it was almost impossible.

If you have an Ipod get Nike+

http://nikerunning.nike.com/nikeplus/

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

i agree. i went to the gym to run like 2 months ago. and i was not running at the time. my goal was to run 4 miles the first day. i tried my hardest and ran 3.5 miles but i have to be in the mood. which im working in my state of mind because if i cant push myself to my goal. what am i going to do when im in a ring and i have 2 rounds left and im tired. i cant quit

It should not take you an hour to run 3 miles. Especially with sprints

I agree Cartman, he's full of it.
