running/jogging

[IronWolverine]

i heard that jogging is bad for the knees.but maybe do more footworking

Jogging for 30 minutes a day is great. You should be doing 30 minutes a day minimum though. You should aim for 45 minutes a day. And jogging is bad for your knees and joints in the long run but you wont have that problem if you don't run on concrete or pavement and instead run on grass or sand or anything soft.

Many pros, and many great champions from the past, don't/didn't run for more than 35-40 minutes per day. And they are/were training for 12-15 round fights. Ali, for instance, ran for 40 minutes every day.

Why on earth would anyone need to run more than that to train for amateur bouts, which at the highest level last no more than 15 minutes from opening bell to final bell?

Danny Williams runs for an hour.
Miguel Cotto runs from 40 minutes to an hour.
Roberto Duran runs from an hour to an hour and a half.
Nonito Donaire runs for an hour.

Those are just some of the routines I can recall off of the top of my head. That combined with most people's reaction to Mike Tyson running only 30 minutes a day being an unimpressed reaction, in addition to having read at least 50 different pro routines leads me to believe that pro boxers run at least a half hour a day or at least a distance of 5 miles a day.

"running/jogging - is it good like 30 mins a day of jogging or replace jogging with something else
what also discourages me is everybody says that jogging is bad for the knees? any thoughts?"

Nowhere in that post or thread title does he say he's an amateur fighter, and even if he was he should still train hard as a standard. In your view, if he's indeed an amateur fighter fighting for 15 minutes maximum, why didn't you encourage him to shave 15 minutes off of his current jogging time? Should he just jog for 15 minutes? It's quite common sense to know that in order to even have a minimum effect on your cardio you should run for a half hour a day at an absolute minimum.

Long distance running can be useful, with weight and especially to pros for endurance, but it needs to be complimented by some sprints and interval training.

What science is there to support this assertion?

What science is there to support this assertion?

No science that I know of. Just knowledge from my past boxing coach, one of my previous doctors, a weight trainer at my old gym, and simply knowing that other than for Jack Dempsey I've never heard of any boxer running less than five or so miles or for under a half an hour. Although I've heard the minimum recommended figure change from between 20 minutes and 30 minutes, most everyone says 30 minutes.

You must jog for at least 20 minutes before you will start to burn fat so for beginners it is recommended that you run for 25-30 minutes continuously.

You get the full benefits of jogging only after you pass the 20th minute mark. If you're just starting out, do it by gradually increasing your time as your energy dictates. Make sure also that you do not have a heart condition. Ideally, you should be jogging at least 30 minutes a day.

you need to be jogging for at least 20 minutes

You need at least 30 minutes of physical activity, a day.
So do cardio for 30 minutes everyday.

You should do atleast 30 minutes of jogging 5 times a week if you want to see real results and proper diet of course.

I could be bothered to continue on with the discussion or go find my Floyd Patterson book to quote from, but I realize you have no desire to actually know but more so you're attached to me only because you're bitter that you lost the Tyson debate with me in other threads, so I'm going to have to end this subject here.

I wouldn't say it's absolutely mandatory, but yes it's a very good and much more effective way.
