Roadwork

[potatoes]

how many miles do u do when u do raodwork? If u dont do roadwork then u probaly have sucky cardio. im up to 4 miles a day.

Long slow distance has long since been proven to be an ineffective and potentially dangerous means of training. I had to prove that myself by ****ing up my knee. Actually I like running and would do at least 10 miles a day and often 15 miles or more. Just before the injury I was up to 100 miles a week. Yeah, that was ******!

2.5 miles a day of intensive intervals will get you the same level of fitness as 15 miles. Instead of 10 or 15 miles at 6 minutes a mile I should have been doing the fast laps at a 5 minute a mile equivalent, or faster. The key to increasing fitness is to do the fast laps as fast as you can, with a goal of running the 2.5 miles a little faster every week.

In boxing there is no substitute for good fitness and there is no excuse for running out of gas as we saw from James Toney and Sam Peter. It should be obvious of anybody how much roadwork they do!

fraidy, i'm still thinking about the **** u said yesterday about being in the hospital all thos times

That's over seven years, bro. I get ****ed up at work about every six months. So far it hasn't been anything bad; we laugh it off. A guy on my team lost the tips of two fingers on a table saw a couple years ago. That was NOT funny.

The thing about the maintenance gig is, we do all the **** that no one else wants to do. We move heavy things and operate heavy equipment, climb in small spaces and up super-high ladders, & work in wood and machine shops. **** happens. That's why we get paid really well. Like, really well.

Modern training?

There is some evidence that the Greeks were using interval training for the Olympics about 2000 years ago. In the modern period some athletes were doing it back in the 1930's. By the 1960's it had become standard practise. I guess it all depends on how you define "modern."

When have I hijacked a thread? These teenage keyboard warriors will make it a point to natter at me at every opportunity. You will notice that I rarely respond because I know a nerdy-boy when I see one. Joe Frazier's credentials are established and well known, these juvenile theorists have lots of clever ideas but nobody has ever seen them in the ring. For a young guy it is a great read because Joe Frazier has been there and done it.

I HAVE TO DISAGREE WITH YOUR THEORY ON HOW TO DO YOURE ROADWORK HERE, BOXING HAS A 3:1 WORK TO REST RATIO. THATS THREE MIN OF ALL OUT HIGH INTENSITY. I BELIEVE YOU SHOULD TRAIN AT A FULL ON SPRINT FOR A MIN OF 3 MIN REPRESENTING WHAT YOU EXERT IN THE RING, FOLLOWED BY A 1 MIN REST PERIOD. MULTIPLIED BY THE NUMBER OF ROUNDS YOU FIGHT. 4, 8, 10, 12, etc. Follow this up with Plyometrics and BAM YOU GOT YOURSELF A SPORT SPECIFIC ROAD WORK ROUTINE.

so if your doing 4 rounds of 3 min in the amateurs, you would do pretty much a 12 min workout?? so 1 min of all out sprints, then 1 min of resting and so forth right? 12 sprints in all?

WORKING THAT HARD IN THAT SHORT OF A TIME FRAME WILL BETTER CONDITION YOU FOR FIGHTING. I MENTIONED GOING ALONG WITH WHAT YOU ARE DOING IN THE RING "NUMBER OF ROUNDS" I DOUBLED IT UNTIL I HIT ABOUT 13 SETS OF SPRINTS. 3 MIN EACH WITH 1 MIN OF REST. BETWEEN
