As the title states, when I check out old training methods/videos. I never notice them going on "jogs." and never really having a routine on how to get in fighting shape by taking their morning "run." Instead they use road work to get into fighting shape by using the open space and mimicking how they fight in the ring while moving. Not your traditional Jog. Back peddle, side to side, etc etc. I hear that actual forward movement should be the least amount of time when it comes to road work. The majority of the movement is side to side, and back peddling...
I take that back, it's more like 1/3 for forward movement, 1/3 for back peddling, 1/3, side to side movement .15/.15... 3/3 for all movements. While shadow boxing during the roadwork, and depending on how you fight is how you should treat your roadwork... the majority of the time. More ways you can mimic the ring and the way you move the better you will be at performing the way you want in the ring.
I go on early runs and I don't seem to be getting in "true" fighting shape. the casual 7/8 minute miles with a sprint after every completed mile for 3-5 miles isn't really getting me there... But when I do what I described above I can really feel a difference when I spar.
jogging is just in my opinion overrated. It's good, just implemented in the wrong way towards being in Fighting Shape.
Too many people Blindsided by just going for the 3-5mile straight ahead jog everyday. I mean it's good but in my opinion not optimal for this sport.
one thing I noticed that's helped me.
Using Roadwork the correct Way, Jump Rope, Sparring, Heavy Bag, shadowboxing.
In my opinion that right there is the most optimal in getting in true fighting shape, with the obvious Sparring being the king of it all.
EDIT:::
One more thing, I feel people are too focused on numbers of how far they go each day. I still recommend 2-3 miles of work a day until your body can handle a higher number. but just jogging 6-7 miles a day I feel helps but doesn't really enhance your fighting capability to its max potential... Basically getting more out of your run with actual fighting movements.
