3 mile run

[Youngblood]

I'd bump it up to 5 miles. If you can average 7.30-8 min/mile for 5 miles you are doing pretty damn well.

I'll take your 5 miles and raise you to 7.
Not really into long distance running, ran with a mate of mine who is in the army a week or two ago... tracked it with my iPhones GPS/runner's app and that's what we came out with. Very hilly route too (I love them )

I much prefer shorter runs with bouts of hill/stair sprinting but I've always had a few miles in my legs too... can run the odd half marathon in a respectable time when I feel like it with out having to do a lot of training. My dad was a really good cross country runner so I must have inherited a bit of his aptitude.

lookin at ur photo adam it looks as tho ur an amateur boxer i used to do it myself. what i want to ask u is how important do u think road work is for a boxer, i no a few trainers now dont bother with it.they say its irellevent. whats ur opinion on this

I am not Adam, but think your trainers are/were likely clueless to make such a statement. Unless they are getting their cardio elsewhere, which is ofc possible, it is a silly statement. Especially in amateur boxing, it is often the difference between a win and getting punched in the face repeatedly while being gased out in the 3rd/4th round.
