training with tex cobb

[The Student]

Me and one other boxer from my gym got the honor to go to Nashville TN and get personally trained by Randall Tex Cobb. It was awesome. Huge motivator. Our warm up was to do a 4 mile run up hill with our 18 ounce boxing gloves on keeping them up in our gaurd. I usually just regularly run but keeping ur hands up the whole time made it real tough. Anyone else ever try running like that before.

I havent ran like that, but I did do the stationary bike for an hour with 18 oz gloves on while continuously and rhythmically throwing out 1-2s and keeping my hands up. Great conditioning tool, in my opinion.

Alright good trade then. Dont be surprised if you get quiet a few more people staring at you while your running though.

bit of a waste o time, 4 miles of lsd running? how long did that take? i only do lsd running for fat loss or to relax, not very useful in the anerobic state you box in.

[iceman]

let me be clear tho i am asking not totally condemming...just for me its a waste to run that long and if it was all sprints to stay in the anaerobic zone, wtf? you will end up with hurt muscle long before you get a bottomless tank

I don't think running that distance is a waste of time. It's not really long - 4 miles. Not even in a blip in the scheme of running distances. If you have good aerobic fitness then you can do a lot more before you're pushed into your anaerobic zone.

Also I think boxing is more aerobic than people think. It's not weight lifting. Done well boxing involves a lot of movement where you want to be fluid and light on your feet.

Do you really think you'd spend a whole bout in your anaerobic zone?
