SPRINTS VS LONG RUNS: THE BENEFITS FOR A BOXER
I prefer short, explosive track work for boxing: sharp bursts that challenge your speed, power and ability to work hard. But long runs still have their place.
Sometimes a fighter needs to get out of the gym, breathe some fresh air and clear his head. A bit of time alone with his thoughts, away from the pressure of camp, ticket sales and the grouchy boxing trainer! 🥊
Track work brings intensity. Long runs give a fighter space to reset. Both have benefits for a boxer.
