How many days a week should I run before fight?
I have a fight coming up in November, and I train 5 days a week and lift 3. How many days a week should I run, and how much? I have heard from one person that jogging 100 yards and sprinting 100 yards for a mile is good enough. Any other suggestions?

Definetly read those!!

I might have a fight in November aswell. Right now, I'm joggin about 3 miles a day, and I'll up it a quater mile every week for 8 weeks. We also have a dedicated day for sprinting. 50, 75, and 100 meters, aswell as with a harness (while out trainer holds us back), thats about 45-60 minutes.

SORRY...direct answer to your question: Run 6 days, at leat 25-30 minutes. If you're really serious do maybe 4x45 minutes sessions, with 1 or 2 days for sprints. Just my take on it.

If your over weight or new to running, 4-6 times jogging


If your weight is ok and your doing hard pad work and sparring, 2-3 times hard running (I was doing 2 hard runs and a sprint session every week...I cut out the weights 3 weeks before fight date)
