How To Run Like A Boxer | TheChessboxer 

3 minute runs one minute rest at 65 to 80 percent of maximum speed X 4, for 4 sets. Once a week wind sprints.

Long runs are good for developing your aerobic system to help you sustain extended work and manage weight, and at least for me help with getting used to pushing and being uncomfortable. But you are absolutely right you need to do short hard bursts with short rests to simulate a round if you want to improve.

Been boxing for four years (no fights just sparring) and I can feel the knowledge from this channel. Subscribed.

You’re right, shorts runs are better to get use to a fight tempo but i would still incorporate the 10k runs (like once or twice a week). I think long runs give you the fitness and endurance in the first place then you get your body to adapt to the frequency of fighting through sprints etc..

Yeap. My coach makes us run hills and sprints and incorporates sleds. It has made a huge difference for me.

Don't stop brother. Value is mad in these vids.

thanks bro 🥊🥊

Very good advices, thanks

Bro for this yo got a new subscriber.Thanks a lot

this man know what he is talking about. this is how you improve thresholds and stay fit. mix it up!

Thanks a lot.

thank you

Love your videos bro. Keep it going!

Very helpful thank you so much 🥊

This is a good video. I’ve been boxing over 8 years

Great video

Spot on mate.

good content, keep it up

one slow 10K a week is good

Dropping gems 💎

I have found in the past adding hill sprints or running up steps during a 5k run of resting and sprints works wonders for fitness, 41 now and can still go hard in 4-5 2min rounds sparring, and i keep up and outrun youths playing football 😂 brilliant videos mate keep them coming 💯

💯💯💯 another great video brother

Thanks. I used run everyday and it was good at keeping my weight down. Yet I would still be tired during the fight. I think I would overtrain. That and I learned doing roadwork is different than running. Road work you shadow box and move your arms, sprint / walk .

helpful video

Great video mate 👌🏽

the black bars really makes it look professional 😂🔥

Great video 🔥

Love to the EARLYYY ONEESSS!!!! ✨🔗

Great vid champ

Good information 💯

Waiting for coach to comeback from coaching a fighter in a fight camp and then I can start competing, not much knowledge but I definitely would add in hill sprints because of the high intensity explosiveness for a period of time and do sets of it. I feel like hill sprints is any athletes friend because it build up explosive power in your legs and the sudden high intensity and work you have to put in even for a short period of time is good for cardio and I feel a good idea for amateur boxing since it will be short rounded and high intensity. Also thank you for this video haven't tried your strategy yet but I'll try to remember to give an update after doing it for awhile and getting some sparring in.

i'm 13 years old and i do runs of 2k with just 1 sprint and resting 2-3 minutes between runs, now i will try to do more sprints, thank you! this will help me a lot improve my stamina.

If you run long distances you build a good base so you can run faster paces and recover faster from sprints. So diversifying your runs should include long runs as well as intervals, fartleks, shorter tempo runs, 3-5ks… plus, you will have the mental health benefit of learning to hold back and conserve energy. I do high intensity sports professionally for 20 years and only 2 years ago I started feeling the difference by adding aerobic base training ✌🏾 trust me, it helps.

Even runners use sprinting to improve stamina... good content bro

Now teach me how to hit like a runner 💪🏼

God bless you

Yes bro.. class content 😂 🔥

This is a great video, very true indeed. I also used to make the mistake to only running 5Ks (bcs I found them more chill), and that made me lose muscle because it’s long distance and so your body believes that you don’t need it (hence y long distance runners are all skinny). My coach told me I need to go back to doing sprints immediately and they REALLY help with cardio when your sparring especially. So yeah, more sprints than 5Ks guys 💪. Lamppost to lamppost is a great strategy by the way. Sprint with all you’ve got from one lamppost to another then jog/walk/slow down to the next lamppost, then sprint again! Do 3 sprints in total, then walk all the way back to where you started. And do it again. I normally do 3-5 sets of these.

Very useful

I salute this brother for covering his awrah.

I like sprints to warm up before I go 4 miles. Then I always like to finish off my runs with a dead sprint

Ma sha allah bro, may Allah increase you in victories ameen.

Barakallahu fek, all love from Morocco

im no boxer i dont know nothing complex about boxing and i can tell this is legit

Great Video !! The reason I lost many of my amateur fights as a more „stocky“ fighter was because of my jogging instead of simulating high pressure attacks by sprinting.

Facts bro...I was doing the same thing. Getting gassed with my quick 5k times but still gassing out in sparring. Gotta know the 5k is more for endurance and sprints for the actual fighting cardio.

BANGERRRR MASHALLAH❤️

I'm losing weight to get myself in shape to start boxing. Might as well learn to build up the gas tank too. I'm already able to almost triple what I could at the start. Great video!

very good video

I'm in my 60s. I still box. I still sprint and I still run. Here's what I do. I live in a mountainous area surrounded by forests. There are numerous mountain bike trails in the area. I run on those. It simulates boxing because you have to be agile and have fast feet to scramble over roots, rocks, mud and up and down hills and look out for the occasional snake too! While I'm doing this, I have to duck branches and move my torso to stay balanced on my feet on the twisting trails. I throw my combinations as I run. Other days, I leave my trail shoes at home and put on my soccer shoes. I skip down one side. Do chinups and pullups and other exercises on the football goal posts (I bring my gymnastics rings). Then I sprint back down the field and do it again until I'm tired. If I feel up to it, I run up the steep hill at the end of the field a couple of times. Or I play soccer with the "kids."I also skip a lot of rope, swim, hit bags and shadow box. I try to breathe through my nose as much as possible. Resting is good but meditation is even better. I'm a counter puncher and a switch hitter. So I go over all of my combinations, traps, escapes etc. in my brain while I am meditating and practicing breath control. Keep boxing and try not to get hit. 🥊🥊😁

ngl quality of the video is insane

I use to do 5km as warm up before each sesh, now I do 2.5km on Treadmill. I’m doing a moderate jog now but change the pace after every .30km, basically a HIIT but I make sure the last few k’s I have left I give it my all.

You still have to have long slow endurance to build your heart muscles which in turn help clear out byprodutes produced from your other two energy systems you use during boxing which are both enhanced by your aerobic base and also makes training easier to recover from you have to do both and even then roadwork is just general conditioning closer to the fight you need to get more specific and use the conditioning protocols but with spar & heavy bag work

What about ----- cycling! Subbed. Good stuff.

I like dis yoot 🔥

The long slow runs are a maybe once a week thing to keep your zone 2 aerobic capacity in shape. Maybe once every two weeks.

SpiderRico says I’m with you God

Great video! definitely I´m going to do more 3k-5k sprints. Just out of curiosity, what is your best 5K time?

What would you say is a high standard or aim to get to with how many sprints you should be able to do during your 5k run? Or an amount or conditioning test that lets you know you’re in shape besides how you feeling in sparring?

What you mean by rest between runs like how often should i do sprints

How much seconds should the be the sprint? Or you sprint till you get tired, jog a bit and repeat?

I just run for a about 3k with but during that run I find a points in front of me where I sprint for a max speed (for example a lattern or a tree in a few meters away). After that, back to the normal pace for a few seconds and sprint for another point again. It is great for a boxing and making a running a little bit less boring.

Hi bro hope u get back to me but ive been doing this the past week now how many sprints / 5ks should I do a week

I swear if I closed my eyes and listened to Yaseen and Dave I wouldn't be able to tell the Difference 😂

Don't you need to build an aerobic base with longer runs too though?

As you can see he’s clearly speechless 😂 great video for up and coming athletes 🔑👏

I started get comfortable with 10k and planned to increase it... now you killed that 😂... 3k and 5k is another story, I will take your advices... thanks a lot

Came from Instagram

dope video bro

So how many times should i run 3-5k/sprint in a week?🙏

Took me about a year of long slow paced runs before I figured this out. I started to do short incline runs. What do you think of hill sprints?

AT how much kilometer per hour should i run ? (my max was 8km at 10km/h)

how do you become a elite amateur boxer ?

How about if I got runner's itch. It's so annoying cause it keep interrupting my pace

You need to train all 3 of your energy systems if you want to get fit easy long run where you keep your hr from 130-160 helps train your heart to pump blood faster at the same intensity but sprints are necessary aswell i like doing 3 min fast then 1 min walking and do that like 6 times and you’ll be fucked

I am doing exactly what u r saying but didn’t the reasoning behind it 🤣

May weather is know for running 7 plus miles, and rocky marciano who was known for endurance would run daily 5-15 miles especially more so as a fight neared, the guy would do half marathons the week of the fight

As a successful amateur boxer i ran 4-6 miles per day 5 days per week. The 6 miles sometimes spread over 2 sessions, frequenty not though. I think a 10k is fine but no more than once weekly and the majority at 4 miles. Also aim for a good pace at least 6.20 mile pace, anything less is just jogging and you need more than that to raise your heart rate sufficiently for extended periods and to get you breathing hard for extended periods.

When my coach tells me to do an hour run, I do like 12km to 12,5km. And I think thats a fairly quick pace

Literally what I’ve been looking for!!! How to gain stamina to fight for tiiiiiime!! No one really did a video like this until now!!! Let’s Go!!! Respect to this Young Prospect

I’m an amateur boxer no fights been training for about a year having problems with backing up too much and struggling to land on back foot boxers any tips

💙🌎🥊

Salvador Sánchez, Erick Morales, Julio César Chávez used to run 13-16km daily

I learned to run from boxers in The Bahamas who have won international title fights and 100% of these fighters trained low intensity 10 mile runs at least once weekly.

Salam bro, does it matter if I run on ground or on treadmill, some people say treadmills are bad cos it does some work for you

I disagree with cutting long runs out completely. Personally I try running 5k but I also do simulated fight lengths on the bag and in sparring, as well as sprints and other types of cardio work. They all have different benefits, jumping rope is great too, swimming, cycling, you just gotta switch it up and do what works for you. Plus the best way to really get your cardio up for a fight is spar a lot. A big reason you get tired is because you are getting hit, so get used to staying calm and being able to deal with punches. But you still have to get in your road work.

This guy is only half right. Building your aerobic base Will increase your ability to recover from your sprints and increase your ability to do more of the sprints . Doing both aerobic and vo2 max work is better than only doing 1 of each of them.

How about how to BOX like a Runner?

What about shadow boxing when running as well!

Wha does 3k or 5k mean? Kilometre?

Makes you think how great some of the all time greats are or even modern boxers who can fight all 12 rounds without gassing, examples being Salvador Sanchez, Mayweather Jr, and Calzaghe who can box all night. Sanchez was special considering bro didn’t even gas after fighting for 15 rounds. If there was a special trait I could have in boxing, it’s an endless gas tank

What do you mean by 10k?

If someone thinks they don’t need rest just remember, goku takes long breaks during his training😤

Would this apply to kickboxers as well?

would it be beneficial to donenough sprints to equal a 5K in one session?

I run 2 mins run jog back sprint 30 second rest

lol thought this was a footwork video

5k??? 10k??? The video says it only runs at 1080P

2 to 3 miles. Every fast half mile is a round
