    I do around 3 miles a day. Sometimes I do more. Depends what else I've got on really. But 3 miles is the least I do.

        I dont do roadwork and my trainer doesnt promote it either. I do interval running -intervals of 3 minutes at a fast speed- 2 days a week. I do steps along with those.

          Ok if I can keep Potatoes out of this thread we'll get you some good advice. The old timers like for you to run 5+ miles a day. Which for general health is a good practice. Now for boxing you have a different story all together. Boxing is anaerobic. Which makes the aerobic exersize of long distance running not sport specific. "note I didn't say bad" But it isn't very benificial for boxers to run long lengths of time at a steady pace. Think of it this way you have 3min rounds of exertion to 1min of rest. Thats a 3:1 work to rest ratio of high intensity activity. Your heart and lungs will not benifit from the relative easy pace of jogging. It took me a while to figure this out too. I went for the 4-5 mile runs thinking I was going great, but didn't have the gas in the ring I needed. What you need is some intense interval roadwork, I like to run a couple of miles to warm up.streatch real good and run spints. somthing that adds up to a two to three min round. run 3-min rest 1-min x 6 or 7 rounds.
          to make it even better when youre done with the first part do some burpee training. 15 burpees 50 meter sprint, 25 "clap pushups" jog back to start do 100 mtn climbers sprint the 50 do 15 knee tucks or squats , lunges somthing to work your legs add jump to make it explosive. and jog back to the begining. start all over. 4-6 reps, You wouldnt need to do it every day I do this routine 3 times a week and just a good 4 mile run twice a week sometimes three I want a balance between my conditioning training and aerobic exersize.

                i usually run about 5km ( 3miles) twice a week - now, but when i was training it was 2 5k runs + 1 8 k ( 5 mile) per week. on the other days i'd run up a very long set of stairs four or five times and do plyometrics

                  1 hour of stairs in the morning 6 days a week. There are about 250 stairs that go up my hill. I run the first few sets, then walk the rest. The key is, I don't stop moving no matter what until it's been an hour.

                  I run 4-5 miles at lunch a few days a week as well.

                    there's a place just like near my house, with a huge old white church in front - that's where i used to go to run the stairs. after about five times, my legs felt like jello
