how much should i run?

[alza1988]

I just learned from rosstraining.I'll copy some from the article and paste the usefull parts I think you should find usefull

STRENGTH TRAINING FOR FIGHTERS
Train the body as a unit, not a collection of small pieces
Focus most of your time around compound movements
Develop a strong core
Incorporate variety into your strength program
Do not limit yourself to one modality
Target multiple strength qualities
Steer clear of failure when training for pure strength
Never sacrifice skill and conditioning for strength work
Focus on quality over quantity
Keep strength workouts brief, 2 to 3 days per week

You run what you can handle.

If you can only do 3 miles then start with that and build up slowly so you dont cause injury.

But you run until your legs are weak if you love boxing.

well i dont really have any advice other than just run, dont let people tell you that you cant do this and that becuase when people cant do something, they tend to tell others that they cannot also. No one else knows YOUR limits, dont listen to people and there "scientificly proven everyones limit is the same" bull****, the only way you can find where your body's limit is at, is in the gym, out on the road and in the ring.

Im 15, i started boxing a year ago. back when i first began i could'nt run a mile without having to stop, i was in terrible shape, 5"8 145 lbs with like 23% bodyfat. a year later and im still 5"8 but now im 131 lbs and 10% bodyfat.

Everyday since i began i did'nt count my miles or how long i ran, i just picked a route and started going. i later discovered my route was 3 miles and somehow i had managed to run it every day considering that i once believed 1 mile was my limit.

what im tryin to get across is if your coach tells you to run 3 miles. do 4 miles! boxing is about heart and determination. If you have the heart to do more than people ask and the determination to follow it through everyday then you will go far in boxing.

My current running schedule looks like this
Monday: Interval running
tuesday: 3 mile run
wensday: hill sprints
thursday: 3 mile run
friday: Interval running
saturday: 3 mile run
sunday: rest

Go out there and run for success, dont let other people tell you that you cannot! Belief is the thing that takes people far! dont be scared to follow your dreams! now go out there...and run.
