what is you all's opinion of distance runs and new school training for boxing?

[dctopboots01]

I think u need to be doing both really. Just another point here, hard road work over distance is as much a mental thing as anything else and tests your will, its also when i personally do my best thinking and get my mind on the task

I can run for miles and it is no real effort and it doesn't improve my mental strength at all. When I sprint a 30 second hill and shadow box at the top it is the toughest mental challange and I feel like I want to die. I know girl-like panses who run 10k a day, it doesn't make you tough. If you are tough, you are tough. Life experience and determination proves that.

10k isn't far, and secondly it also depends how fast you run it!?

So would running 12 times at a high pace for 3 minutes with 1 min rest be beneficial rather than sprinting 100m every now and then

As I have suggested in previous threads, you are probably best to do 12 x 4mins.
But a long run (not just taking it steady) will help build up base levels too.

anarobic threshold is also known as lactate threshold.

lactate threshold is when your muscles are producing more lactate acid then they can break down.

the main muslces for creating lactate acid are fast twitch

the main things responsible for breaking down lactate acid are red blood cells, your liver, lung muscles, heart muscles, and slow twitch muscles.

so essentially your arobic capacity is directly related to your anerobic capacity.

really all you need is long distance running, as HIIT training on the heavy bag shadow boxing, sparring, pads, double end bag, speed bag and jump rope are all just as good if not better then sprinting.

Here you are talking **** again

Usian Bolt has no aerobic fitness

Does this affect his anaerobic fitness levels? No! you do some aerobic training because it's involved 30% in boxing. Usian Bolt would not be good running 800m, this does not affect his sprinting. Please do one, I get so many message about how insane and random your posts are.

work both. the 12 3 minutes simulates working for a boxing right (although 12 sets is proberly too much). sprinting helps with explosivness over a short period of time. like throwing combinations!

So look at a marathon runner. They run 22 miles most days. Are they tough? No.

Thats entirely subjective. I'd suggest someone who can run a marathon in under 2hrs 30 is pretty tough.

Under 2 hours 30 is a superb time, one that would have required a ridiculous level of training, mileage, speedwork. Few professional boxers would manage such a time. Sub 2 hours 30 would require between 80-100 miles on foot a week. That is tough, at least 15 miles most days whatever the weather. It doesn't matter that these guys are skinny and look like they'd last 10 seconds in a fight.......they'd have some serious toughness/discipline/dedication upstairs.

The speedwork alone would put a marathon runner of that caliber in a serious level of mental toughness.
