I train often and hard now, im new to boxing....apart from school im in the gym 2 days a week and 3-4 X a week im running(rather jogging) 5k consistently
Im a big fella, george foreman size, 6'3 240 lbs last i checked. Iv probably lost weight though i train hard, body is still sore from last night..
Im fairly happy with my training and intensity at the moment, but i feel after 3-4 rounds of constant, nonstop pad work and sparring in the ring with my trainers (who are pros or ex pros) i really start to feel it...
In the gym i usually start with a warmup, 10 mins of skipping rope, footwork, technique, bag work, pad work, and sparring
The weight is starting to come off, steadily...but im wondering if there is something i can do to improve? Instead of jogging 5k should i try sprinting going balls out as fast as i can for a certain distance? Or should i just stick to what im doing now...and my stamina in the ring to withstand that intensity will improve as i weigh less and less?
How do the real pro boxers handle roadwork?? What kind of running do they do?
Thanks
#edit, my diet has cleaned up also fairly nicely lately, no more junk food, or garbage of any kind (never smoked, drank or drugs for that matter) , im eating more fruits and veggies now more than ever
(now that i think of it, maybe i should have asked my trainers about this? :O)
