sprint intervals or steady paced run

what would be better for amatuer boxing? shorter intense intervals (involving bursts) or running from 3 to 5 miles at a constant but fast speed.

do long rungs but during it throw in a sprint around half the track

Both. Can't do the sprint training effectively every day, so the longer runs are there to help your body recover.

depends on what you're looking for.

running 1:30 as a jog/slight run, then the final :30 as a sprint ...jog for :30, repeat

[j-gip]

both, depending on how long the fight is....for amatuers I would suggest sprints

Both, you can do a 3 mile run every day, while doing sprinting intervals.
