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.
i'm not a boxer, just a fan...

having said that, long runs have been the best way for me to drop weight.
