How Long Do Boxers Ussally Run?

[Kamil]

I ussally run for 30 mins everyday, but last night my boy took me running for a 1 hour(im serious, it was one hour on the clock and my boy runs it everyday) and quick paste as well. Just wanted to know how long boxer's ussally run for?

[Relentless]

3.5 miles.

[Kolya]

Depends. 10-20 minutes, sometimes more. Just do that for baseline fitness; sprints and bag drills make up the rest.

[WHU]

I've been told build the base of cardiovascular endurnace then develop your anaerobic endurance then move on to sport specific drills such as bag drills pad drills etc

[WHU]

you have been told sound advice, the sprints are what will give you the second wind in your matches, never underestimate sprinting is what im sayinf

sorry to sidetrack from the topic but does this refer to strength work aswel as in build a base then develop power then specific drills related to boxing.

6 miles a day when your in serious training.

[jimmy1991]

i run for about half hour about 2-3 days a week not very much but:conf

[venomus_p4p]

I run about 5 miles 3 times a week.

Depends on the fighter. Even among world champions there are big differences - some run 3 or 4 miles, some go much further, some mix in sprint workouts on alternate days. Nigel Benn did big mileage (for a boxer) - 12 miles a day or more, in the hills.

4 - 6 miles seems to be most common, as far as I can tell.

I try to do 4 - 6 miles a couple of times during the week, with one slightly longer run (8 or 9 miles) on the weekend. I used to do more but my knees can't handle it any more.

depends
30 minutes can be enough if your running at the right intensity. You should be running 3 miles in that amount of time

Why do people run for such long distances? From what I understand, you only want to build an aerobic base then build up intensity to HIIT training, (which resembles the faster pace of boxing) while maintaining good aerobic capacity. I can't see how running more then 3-4 miles will help, it'll make you a good runner, but won't help much with a sport that's thought to be 80% anaerobic.


An Anaerobic Sport


A boxer must train in a sport specific manner if he wishes to be successful inside the ring. Many old-school trainers continue to preach the importance of long, early morning roadwork sessions. The great majority of boxers today still run 4 or 5 miles on a daily basis. These long aerobic running sessions do little to prepare the boxer for the physical demands he will face inside the ring.
Boxing is anaerobic in nature. The sport has been estimated as approximately 70-80% anaerobic and 20-30% aerobic. Anaerobic means to conduct an activity without oxygen. Anaerobic exercise, like boxing, stresses the muscles at a high intensity for short periods of time.
A perfect example is a fast combination that a fighter throws in the ring. The aerobic portion of the match takes place when the boxer circles the ring, perhaps catching a quick breath. Aerobic exercise is defined as low intensity activities performed for extended periods of time.
It is quite clear that a long slow distance (LSD) running is not a sport specific form of conditioning for boxing. A fighter must pattern his training after the physical demands of the sport. Why spend 100% of your time running in an aerobic manner when the sport is primarily anaerobic in nature? There is no answer to this question.

i dont run at one pace, when i run 3 miles i take short bursts of sprints.

Yeah. That's HIIT.

[joekirkbycobra]

high intensity interal training incase any1 doesnt no

Why do people run for such long distances?
In my case, for weight control.

In my case, for weight control.

HIIT is far more effective.

[PedroDePacas]

I do both

run in intervals. If you're on a treadmill what I like to do is change the incline or speed up half a notch every single minute. Just so the "feel" never gets into a rhythm. There is NO rhythm when you're fighting someone, boxing is completely random in there and its incredibly hard on your body. Sparing 5 rounds is probably just as bad as running for 1 hour. If you're on a treadmill try changing the speed and incline back and forth every minute or two and that will really work you.

I also like to just start off at a high speed and when I need to drop it a notch I'll slowly phase out the speed every 2 minutes. But I mean slowly so even though you're decreasing the speed since it is such a small decrease it will not feel like much of a change because you are progressively getting tired. Running at your max builds your mental strength too, nothing is worse than being at your heart rate max its an unbearable feeling but thats how you build your endurance.

i run endurance cuz i do a lot of halfmarathons but i like all aspects of training so i do hiit aswel
