Just Starting

[El Gamo]

Hey AdamGB,remember when I asked you aaages ago how much I should run,I can now do 6 miesl easy,with lots of hills involved! So I was wondering whether I should run with weights on my back? What would be the benefits?

I'm in two minds to be honest, a weight on your back will help your endurance more than anything else and in theory your Anaerobic threshold during your sprints. In theory... to an extent... It starts to get more complicated with sprints, its not just a case of adding weight for better results, it limits the speed and strength yo can turn into 'power' during a sprint and whilst you may think that this would help you develop more power its likely to just lower the quality of you training.

Personally I'd intensify the sprints by either going harder, longer, faster or doing more sets of them...

Or preferably of that all of that :P

CC for coming on in your training (24... gave you one for the weight gain post )

Thnaks bro,CC back. I just come here,read read and read all the stuff from you experts,especially you,then I just try to apply it. As soon as my exams are done,I am going to join a proper boxing gym in Edmonton,just enjoy myself!!!
