It's not easy, man. But it's very doable. Even professional marathon runners can take a year a more just to improve their time by 3 mins, real talk. But I'm close to hitting the 3 miles in less than 21mins. I'm at 22:35 right now😅
Lost my first fight because I lost my wind. Gassed out in the last round and it pisses me off. I won every round but lost the fight. I literally run 6-8 miles and my coach told me my heart rate is to low. Your advice is great
Run 3x a week sprint workout 2x and on Sunday do 1 mile slow places recovery mile and make sure when u hitting the bag and jump roping train like your heart boutta explode
Crazy how I commented on this video a month ago and never lost track of getting to 3 miles in 21 mins Back then it would take me 33 mins to get my 3 miles Today I hit a milestone of 3 miles in 25 mins! 205 lbs 6’0 Getting that 21 min real soon 💪🏼💪🏼
That's awesome man. I started running a couple weeks ago. I'm 6'2" and 198lbs (still cutting) 3 miles took me almost 29 minutes. Today I'm down. To 27:17 so I got a ways to go lol. But hey hearing someone my size is making great progress keeps me motivated! Keep it up man!
Best video for me so far in the season I’m in. Training for the amateurs now. Just started 2 weeks ago. I’m 22 in good shape but wanting to be at the highest level endurance wise. Light heavyweight. Great content coach 🤝
Coach V and his coaches are the best. They got me ready for fight and without them I woulda got smoked in the first round. We went the distance and I’ll def b headed back to New Breed for next fight!
Great Video My is son is 13 had his first amateur fight 1 month ago. I am trying to learn as much as possible to help him any way I can. Ty for the Info
This happened to me nearly 10 years ago when I had my first amateur fight I’m like I’m gonna go in there be really defensive and when the guy came running at me all of that just went out the window
On fight 5, my boxer lost for the first time. Caused me to revamp my coaching. I immediately got rid of running for the purpose of endurance. Running is good for toning muscles and shedding weight, not endurance. He havent ran in years.
I appreciate this. I can only run 1.5 miles in 14 minutes. I need to do a lot better than that if I'm to be in shape for competing. I work out every day consistently.
No problem champ get a running app and track every session try your best to beat your previous time also do a nice warm up and make sure you get a sweat going before you run 💪🏼
I need to adhere to the advice of "if you can still talk, you are not running fast enough" And drop all the slow 8kms I am doing and replace them with hard 5km runs
This guy hit the nail right on the nugget … that’s why Paulie magic man lost his bare knuckle fight against a mma fighter .. Paulie was to busy being a perfectionist and defensive counterer .. while his lesser skilled fighter was just gunning and wailing off punches .. magic man lost on points … street fighting street defense amateur fights ect are more about the output then technique and I’m sorry it’s just truth
All good points except one...the one about not being able to talk while running because if someone can talk, they're not running fast enough. Running while being able to talk (z2) will increase VO2 max, lactic threshold etc much more efficiently than running in z3. Slow and steady will allow you to incorporate tempo runs and sprints much faster while lowering and then maintaining bpm compared to constantly gassing out from running too fast too soon.
I hear you and ive debated this with experts from all walks of life but in boxing the one that can push himself to that point and still function "physically " not verbally has reached the optimum level of his ability. There's not need for talking in the ring!
@@coachv3436 I think we're not on the same page and i get our backgrounds aren't the same, but "endurance" is the common denominator for both of us. Training in z2 builds up your endurance much more efficiantly than z3/4. For instance, if the same person was running in z2 4-6 times a week while incorporating tempos and sprints and their double was doing z3 runs, after a month the person who was mostly doing z2 would perform better under increased intensity ie sprints tempos or rd/rd fitness because their body would have spent more time under stress of running and would adapt to it therefore the endurance gain would be significant. Keep up the good work!
@@dansmith7465 You are partially right,. As a matter of fact z2 training is inferior to z3 for every physiological adaption. HOWEVER i do agree that a polarised training approach as you described is preferable to mainly z3/z4 training, and the reason is this...z2 is nearly as good as z3 at eliciting the relevant physiological adaptions but induces far less fatigue while doing so, which is obviously very important. As you eluded to this means that the higher zone interval work can be done to a greater degree of quality as there is less fatigue.
@Epictetus I am a strength and conditioning coach and exercise physiologist and have a masters in these subjects, i have been working in these areas for over 15 years, also yes i am a boxer, sparred probably 5000 rounds and had 18 bouts so.......
What advice do u got for me I’m 15 gonna join a club called raincity boxing it’s in bc Canada cuz I’m Canadian and they do amateur tournaments I’m 5”10 140 lbs but I’m kinda skinny fat I started eating more food and now kinda got a belly and some extra skin on my chin and my arms are a bit bigger but I’m still skinny fat so what should I do abt that
There will be some initial discomfort for some people but as long as you don’t have an actual injury then you should get conditioned to it overtime correct
I agree conditioning is very very important. But on the running fast topic I have to disagree with you because I had a teammate in Seattle back in 2012 and we'd run together and it would be at a very slow pace and he was 10-0 Light Heavyweight in Amatuers. Tbh I wouldn't advise anyone to follow your tips. Just my thoughts.
@@wnbagotnext7251 Nice, but imo that's not enough at that pace. With that said, there are pro boxers that don't really run that have gone on to do very well... Like, Wilder 🤷🏾♂️
Hey coach just recently start watching your videos thinking seriously about getting into boxing , there’s a boxing gym at the end of my street , from never really being a runner I’ve ran 3.5 miles the past 3 days and my best time was 28 minutes but I’m getting faster and hopefully I’ll be able to get it down to 21 minutes soon, thanks for the info new subscriber
In the amateurs you weigh in the same day so you should fight at your natural most fit weight give yourself a good 6 months at least of solid conditioning and whatever your weight is that's what you fight at!!
@@coachv3436 sucks for me weight is 92kg but when I'm fit it's around 86 so stuck in between the lightheavy weight of 81 and 91 kilos , cutting to 81 is an option as if I fight at 91 I'm fighting guys that come down from around 100 kg
This is dope I want to box 4 days a week and I want to condition hit the gym so I’m good I also work at a warehouse tho so idk how the first week gonna go a little hesitant but this might jus turn me into a monster lmao or tire uh fool out
I would say it’s overkill tbh. Boxing is a mixture of aerobic and anerobic so I would run 3-4 miles 3 days a week and the other 2 or 3 days I would do sprints
Do you believe in overtraining? I was doing two a days for two months and the gym was in camp mode and I feel burnt out. Before work I would hit the boxing gym, then after I was doing cardio and calisthenics. Tho I’m not fighting anytime soon but my sleep was getting worse and I was diagnosed with mild adrenal fatigue.
Excellent question brother, so yes, there is definitely such a thing as overtraining and that is obviously case by case, depending on your medical status in your case, adrenal fatigue is something you would have to work around in order to compete so maybe doing you’re running right after boxing training as difficult as that may seem, I used to do that myself sometimes when my schedule did not allow me to spread out the run times. And I have also been guilty of staying in the gym, too long and working too hard before fights and showing up on fight night less than 100%, so yes it definitely can happen!!
I’m not conditioned or have skills ima beginner only been to 3 practices I can barely lead hand jab & my coach is throwing me into a amateur tournament Carolina Gloves🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ tips???

Lost my first fight because I lost my wind. Gassed out in the last round and it pisses me off. I won every round but lost the fight. I literally run 6-8 miles and my coach told me my heart rate is to low. Your advice is great
Add some sprints
Get a weighted vest. Use it when on the bag and running. You need resistance training
You need to do speed work days 1 day a week and a tempo run 1 day a week, cant just run distance.
Run 3x a week sprint workout 2x and on Sunday do 1 mile slow places recovery mile and make sure when u hitting the bag and jump roping train like your heart boutta explode
3-5 Miles daily on the road I'm not gonna lose cause I'm tired. Appreciate you Coach V.

Defense in amateur boxing is way overrated. Need to approach it as a sprint. Punch output and ones and twos.

If you’re not burnt out all the time it’s fine but if you’re always tired do 3-6 miles 3-5 times a week and do 2 days on sprints and hill sprints
The worst training is the training that you don't do it
I would say it’s overkill tbh. Boxing is a mixture of aerobic and anerobic so I would run 3-4 miles 3 days a week and the other 2 or 3 days I would do sprints
