    see my post above big boy

    makes sense doesnt it?
    No way!

    I put some big hills in my runs and sometimes I need to stop because the legs are burning so much. That never happens on a treadmill

    There is a big difference when you are purposefully putting in hills than to running on normal flat road. I dont think about times, just distances. As long as I know I can cover a certain distance without having to stop, im happy. I think of running as a bank im putting miles in. When im in to it I like to aim for 20 miles a week, which is only 4, 5 mile runs. I run to get fit, not because I enjoy it. When I boxed, I did run every day and used to run our cliff paths, lots of steep hills. Im looking to build stamina.
    well obviously you cant compare the two if you are running up big hills on the road and flat on the treadmill

    and you cant know if you do one faster than the other if you dont time yourself

    but if you run a similar run on both, if you are at a certain level of fitness, you will more than likely find you run further faster on the roads, i challenge you to try it

    when did you box? who did you box for? were you anygood? how come you stopped?
    I boxed from 97 to 2000, started when I was 19, had 3 seasons, 18 fights and 12 wins. I was ok, was strong and can take a shot. Didnt have many stoppages, although id regard myself as fairly powerfull, I could drop anyone in sparring but I think I may have smothered my own work when boxing. I was well in to it, never a day off training but over here in Guernsey we stagnate. We do well our first few seasons through our fitness and aggression but we only have one club and obviously we all spar each other day in day out, never seeing anything new, never getting challenged in sparring, so as the seasons go on, the lads on the mainland skillset over takes ours through the bigger variety of sparring partners. I was getting fed up of going nowhere and one day had an argument with my missus and punched a wall in temper and couldnt use my right hand for punching for about 6 months. Every time id think it was better id try some light shots on the bag and gradually get harder and then it just bruises again and the hand goes limp and is useless. I can see why Calzaghe had trouble stopping people later on whith his hand troubles. By the time my hand was better I was well in to work and overtime and could really do with out the nerves for weeks before fights. I started at 72 kilos and finished up at 78, through growing and doing weights. Im 106 at the moment and could probably lose 3 stone. Running is a bastard killer now but im just getting back in to it and the weights. I still feel when fit I could ruin anyone in sparring though

    I am too old to box now, only white collor will have me and have my first fight in june

    but if i had one bit of advice to give to any boxing fan, if you are young enough then do it

    i regret not stepping in a gym 10 years ago and boxing when i could, id have still of been late to boxing but young enough, it is a big regret
    Well I tell you what, it takes some bollocks to commit to a fight even when your young but to do it at a more mature age takes more bottle. Good on you!

    Is it going to be to a decision? I know the participants of white collar can choose to have a decision or just fight for the sake of it.

    Does anyone think it wouldn't be to difficult to achieve 12.5 miles in 3 hours... So about 4 miles every hour??

    I saw it on the video I posted about getting into the Australian special forces, and one of their tests was to walk 20 kilometers (12.5 miles) in 3 hours 15 minutes.... They had to do it with a 30 pound or 30 kg pack on, but i'm considering attempting it minus the pack...

    Just wondering if you guys have ever actually timed yourself over a mile or two or whatever,,, and what do you think a reasonable time would be if you evened that over 12 miles.. i.e. obviously can't keep the same pace over 12 miles compared to 1 mile. So can't just multiply your 1 mile time by 12..

    The U.S. Infantry standard is 12 miles with a 45 pound rucksack and rifle in three hours. Last time I did a 12 miler I came in at 2 hours and 50 minutes. There was some jogging mixed in there though. I usually take my guys on a 4-6 mile ruck every Thursday. I use a 50-60 pound rucksack and we walk at a 15 minute/mile or less. I have to really concentrate to walk that fast but if you got a long stride its not that difficult.

    Doesn't it annoy you having to log back in and out just to vent the other side of the argument?
