    The bike is also better option than running because you avoid the pounding on your joints. Wrestling is already hard on the musculoskeletal system.

    Would really love a video about wrestling diet. What to eat and what to avoid while training and on match day and for tournaments.

    Cross country has destroyed a lot of athleticism in a lot of wrestlers, but it does help keep the weight down.

      That is simply not true. A high school cross country race is 5000 meters. 3.1 miles. The studs run it under 16 minutes. Their training includes speed work, hills, repeat 400s.
      It’s a great sport for your little guys who can’t play football.
      Not going to loose your fast twitch running hard for 16 minutes.
      Those who say things like that simply don’t like running, don’t know how to run, and can’t run well.
      Nothing gets you tired like running.
      50 years of action research tells me I’m right.

      Come on man, Noone runs 16 minutes at a x country practice. You are fibbing a bit. Dudes are grinding out mile after mile, sure, there are some 400 repeats going on but how many practices are under an hour? That's where you kill fast twitch. Sprinting is great for wrestling, football, lacrosse whatever. Cross country is great. For cross country.

      Destroyed? That's dramatic (and wrong). Increasing running volume for 2 1/2 months is going to build a great base for wrestling periodization. Don't see a downside coming in to the season with solid cardio.

    Running is necessary.. But you should get your cardio work mostly from yohr fight training...
    I run for good lungs and i have noticed anything more than 2 miles is just ppromoting weight loss😂 .. Run 2 miles but run it hard... Maybe 3 miles.. Thats it.. No need to do 6 miles..that will take both time and youre just losing weight at that point 😅

    Running is hard on your body when you are fat and out of shape.
    Invest in a good pair of shoes. Hit the road and get fit.
    A wrestler who runs 15-20 miles a week is not going to tear up his body.
    Wow guys. How soft have we become.
    Just keep listening to these anti run guys and we will continue to beat the crap out of you.

    • @davidrichards5920

      It’s not “being soft.” It is exercise physiology is its most absolute basic form. Don’t hate because current literature has left you behind. I made the same mistake too and saw exactly what he was saying would happen. I upped my miles to 5 a day my senior year and lost my speed. Cost me big at the state tourney.

      Running can actually be worse for people with extremely low body fat (like wrestlers) who have very little padding for their joints. And it's not about being soft it's about training in the optimal ways. How many miles a week do you think JB, Dake, DT, Snyder, etc. are running? lol

    And yet, most of the most successful international programs are still running, many of them daily. Hills and stairs are especially popular in both wrestling and Judo. I'd pick running hills over the assault bike any day, as long as we are talking about a healthy athlete.

    Not good advice. Kyle Dake has a famous workout routine but is also recognized as being one of the slowest wrestlers to ever win a match.
