I'm not sure if you're joking or not, but I really think there's truth to that statement. I think that one of the reasons coaches have fighters put in miles is to develop grit, and weed out the people who aren't willing to work hard.
@@porters.5811 he means it actually makes your heart bigger. Muscular hypertrophy occurs in the heart when it contracts a lot. Running causes the heart to contract a lot because it is aerobic so it uses oxygen, and therefore the heart has to pump more blood more often to supply more oxygen (because oxygen is transported through the blood in red blood cells). Therefore, the heart contracts more, so muscular hypertrophy (increase in mass or size) occurs.
Running through fortifications dodging arrows, running in formation to charge/flank the enemy, and yes, even running away when it's clear you can't win the day
@@ezcanor8262 yup, and? Does that make them a better fighter, nope because running doesn't automatically translate to anything in combat. Does it make you better at anything besides running, nope. Well at least when you turn tail, you can make sure you can get away from safely lol.
With the running guys if you have a heart rate monitor you should be doing those slow miles at about 180-age. So for example if you are 25 years old you want to be keeping your heart rate at around 180-25 = 155. This is the optimal range to build your aerobic capacity. Running at this heart rate may feel very very slow at first, but over time your aerobic capacity will increase and you will find yourself running faster whilst maintaining this heart rate. You can build up to 5 or 10 bpm faster than this for those slow runs over time but 180-age is the place to start. These slow miles are what builds your aerobic base, and over time increasing your aerobic capacity will increase the amount of work your body is able to do before it needs to switch to the anaerobic system. The sprints are what that is working on, i.e. increasing your vo2 max. If you just train like an animal all the time you are only training your anaerobic system, running slow miles is vital for increasing your aerobic capacity and building that strong base!
I can train MMA, Muay Thai and Wrestling for 4 hours straight, including sparring and drilling and pad work. But if I just run for 30 minutes i'm almost dying.
Maybe its mentally. I know the Feeling. When you do a type of cardio which you like (fighting, boxing ...) it feels less exhausting, because you are very concentrated on your partner and it makes a lot of fun.
I do 30 minutes running and cover 5km plus 400 push ups and 120 inverted pull ups and 400 free squat is my workout push ups 50 into 8 same with free squat and inverted row 15 into 8 these r my workout routine no gym since 4 month

I like that running has persisted into modern times in all the combat sports. Not just for fitness, but because running is a primal and useful skill. Muay Thai runs used to kill me when I knew I had 3 hours of other stuff lying ahead of me. Now I don’t fight, but still train and spar, with the addition of running 100 mile ultras.

ATP is adenosine triphosphate it's what all your cells use for energy. This is created in all the energy systems. What I think you meant with the ATP system is Creatine Phosphate. It is the short term ATP replenishment system that happens when you do burst of energy like weight lifting. That is also why some weight lifters eat creatine to have a bigger storage capacity for phosphate. ATP becomes ADP as a phosphate group + a lot of energy is released. Through creatine phosphate ADP gets another phosphate and can become ATP again and release energy again. I'm a biotechnology student at DTU in Denmark. Hope you found this post useful.
As someone who’s obese (not morbidly, I just have a big gut that makes me look pregnant 😂😂) and have been lazy for the past couple years, I started running a bit and I’ve been showing up to my home workouts and finishing them without holding back. My back and hips don’t even hurt anymore and my mind is at ease. I want to keep this up because although I can’t wait to lose weight and it will be a slow process, these small victories really make fitness worth it. I also want go get back into MMA training soon since that’s something I really want to do. All I’ve been doing are 10 minute jogging sessions and I feel great.
ATP is the energy molecule your body uses. You're talking about the ATP-PC or creatine phosphate system. That's like less than 4-5 seconds or 1-3 reps. Your body uses a phosphate from the creatine molecule and attaches it to adenosine Di-Phosphate making it into an available energy source (ATP molecule). Great vid!
Hey Shane. I started watching you videos last September to get ready to go in the boxing gym. Now I've been going for a while and everything I've learned hits spot on with ur lessons but... this isn't enough road work. 8 mile runs once a week6 mile run once a week4 mile run once a week 2 days of sprinting to get ready. 2-3 miles is a warm up jog . But better for me.
Thank you so much bro you wouldn't believe that I've been looking for a complete running regimen with guidance for years now and today I said you know what I'm just gonna go to the track and run and right before I get ready to go this notification pops up so thanks bro I'll be sure to shout you out once I become heavyweight champion of the world
I personally think running IS the best way to build up cardio. I've been working heavily on boxing lately and we hit the kits A LOT. Even as the weeks went on I was still getting gassed easily from doing mits. Then I started running (like my coach had been telling me to) and I could tell my cardio was getting better from how long it took me to get tired.
I do 5 miles everyday after quitting cross country and track to pursue mma and I think I may be suffering from a heel stress fracture so I think I’m gonna start listening to shane
In and out of your nose, keep your mouth closed, this prevents you from getting stitches. If you are struggling to intake enough air with this method I switch to “breathe in through your nose and out of your mouth”. I hope this helps
I disagree with one point Shane made there: he said the 'aerobic' energy system is the one which is 'being able to fight for five rounds', when in fact studies have shown that it is predominantly the Anaerobic ('medium intensity', as he calls it), that is activated during rounds of a fight, as they involve repeated bursts of high intensity activity, in which glycogen as opposed to oxygen is predominantly utilised to quickly and repeatedly contract muscle fibres to produce explosive power throughout medium term intervals (3/5 minute rounds). Conversely the aerobic system only really comes into play during rests between rounds (maximising recovery), and short periods of lower intensity activity within a round, during which no punches/kicks are being thrown, or both participants are clinching etc. For this reason, fight-specific ratio of cardiovascular training employed should be roughly 2:1 anaerobic to aerobic, or more specifically, roughly 50-60% anaerobic, 20% ATP, 20% aerobic.
Matt Mc awesome post man very informative! Just a question, if running and doing cardio is aerobic, what would constitute anaerobic and ATE? Like lifting weights, sprinting, heavy bag, calisthenics, ect? And whats the difference between the two? Thanks alot
You still want a very strong cardio vascular system to replenish more when you're not attacking. Every some seconds can replenish more than enough energy to last longer than you would have originally.
One of the best channels on You Tube.. quick , easy to understand and well put together. My ankles hurt when I run unfortunately (regardless of stretches and correct footwear) I can only get my cardio for fighting from sparring which is only twice per week so I'm looking for other methods ?
do sprints on the grass or sand. no asphalt or concrete will wear out joints.add plyometrics and jump rope will help explosive power in legs, jump hight, spring for movement and endurance. jogging is old school good for endurance but thats it.
Screw running. Lol. I was a Wrestler for a long time, at the college and international level. I feel like we ran way too much. It was just so taxing on my joints. Instead of working my body fatigue around the wrestling, I had to plan everything around it running because it was just so rough on my lower legs. I actually got a stress fracture my freshman year from running. and had to miss the pre Christmas season. I feel like you’re better off just resting. Or doing something less impact like elliptical or cycling. It’s really interesting to see how much running has been toned back since I wrestled competitively 20 years ago. A lot of times do you want programs don’t really run at all.
Yep there is a reason more and more programs are removing the running, it's bad for fighters/grapplers. The reason the old school legends ran is because of tradition, they didn't know any better.
You missed a key point about heart rate. Running is a way, but not necessarily the best way to accomplish cardiovascular training. Properly formatted jump rope routines and rowing are also excellent cardio training exercises.
It's been said that James Toney never ran but 90% of his training was sparring. In his later years his feet definitely slowed down but this guy was nearly impossible to knock out and counter punching was some of the best in the business.
I used to love sprinting, now since I have recurring issues with one of my legs from a past injury, I swim laps, good alternative once you learn proper technique
Thank you for the videos, i see a lot of great physical tips that help alot but I've never seen you make a video more about attitude and spirit. I think it would be great to see you talk about how to open peoples eyes and teach them how to get the determination to do the exercises. What makes everything possible is your attitude and your power of will to just keep pushing forward and teaching yourself to love the pain it takes to be a champion. I don't know if you made any videos that are more about training the spirit and mindpower but it would be cool to see you make something like that.
This reminds me that I need to run more been training too much with folks who abide by the philosophy of "cardio? is that Spanish?" during the past month.

P. S. On the day tht I'm strength training I'm doing something like brian alrusche linear progression programme. Any suggestions on how i can include this or add plyometrics in my workout ?
anaerobic includes atp-pc aswell, all of them do actually, at the start of using the lactic acid and aerobic our body uses ATP-PC to give us a quick jump. think of it like turning on the car. ATP-PC is the spark from your ignition
Hey Shane! Love your videos! A couple of questions here: what do you do when your central nervous system is fried? I can't sleep properly and cannot relax for years now. And regarding the runs, what is a moderate pace? Should you feel pushed the entire time you run, or should you feel moderately exercised and have no problems keeping the pace with confort?
don't be afraid to step outside your comfort zone, in boxing i think it's best to be prepared to become as uncomfortable as possible at times (considering in fights you'll always push your limit or feel pressured to increase intensity by your opponent). I'd say balance the two area's of comfort and discomfort when doing roadwork - incorporate sprinting and changing of pace consistently. regarding your nervous system you just gotta see a good doctor my man. take it easy.
Hey Shayne; could you do a video on a complete training guide for fighters? So I'm talking about cardio as well as sport specific exercises like heavy bag, double end bag, sparring etc as well as maybe strength training as well? It's hard to fit it all in but would be sick if you could help out!
Like Shane said at the end, whatever you do you gotta keep your heart rate up for the amount of time that you're required. Things get pretty technical from there on out with whether you're training to increase your VO2max or your endurance, or whatever the goal of your cardio exercise may be. You could run a mile & skip rope on one day and hit the heavy bag & skip rope the next, it's all good homie.
I think shadowboxing is better reserved for technique practice and it isn't that effective as a cardio exercise, but it could serve the same purpose if you get your heart rate up and keep it at the same level as you would with a run.
bottom line is if you're looking for excuses to not do roadwork you're lazy and probably not gonna be a very good fighter... The only reason you shouldn't be doing roadwork is if you have an injury that prevents you from running
I wouldn't go calling people lazy if they do put in the equivalent amount of effort with another cardio exercise. Roadwork is a classic as it is one of the best ways to build up your endurance and to train your VO2max. :)
Hey Shane, I love the content, but you should really take a physiology class or something. It might be a bit nitpicky, but i just can't help myself. You do have 3 energy systems, one witch is purely anaerobic, one who is purely aerobic, and one that works both anaerobic and aerobic depending on training intensity. They all utilize ATP for energy, the difference is how fast they can provide energy, and what kind of fuel they use. The factors that determine your aerobic performance is going to be your work economy (your technique, among other things), your lactate threshold and your maximal oxygen uptake. While running can be great for increasing your maximal oxygen uptake (because the training effect is very general in nature), it does not affect your lactate threshold or work economy in the ring very much. The idea with sport specific conditioning is a good idea because you have specific adaptions that don't happen unless you train specific to your sport. If you want to discuss this, i would love to hear from you.
Yes, like i mentioned, you can increase your maximal oxygen uptake this way, and that is going to be beneficial, but you don't get the adaptions that are specific to your sport. If you want to test it out, you can try to put a decent runner on a bike, he is going to be exhausted fairly quickly, even tho he may be in great running shape. And the same way, running endurance doesn't transfer as well to endurance in the ring as specific training does. On a physiological level there are adaptions that only happen when you practice your sport (like increases in capillary density and increases in enzyme activity). This is because you stress different muscles when you run then when you fight. Running is great for increasing your maximal oxygen uptake because it utilize a lot of muscle mass, but the same benefits can be achieved while hitting the heavy bag, rolling or sparring, witch also gives you sport specific adaptions. Your heart doesn't know if you run, swim or spar, so you can utilize it, but it probably shouldn't be the bulk of your endurance training if performance is your main concern. Thanks again for great content
Best Chanel on TH-cam keep going thanks for putting all this together for us I’m sure you spending a lot of time I appreciate it If you would make a video about how to start training and get ready for fight after long lay back 4 years smoking and hardly training I’m not fat I don’t want to lose weight. I joined a gym and in the first class after 20 min grappling I gas out my lungs couldn’t keep going and I stoped I’m really upset with my self if you can explain what I should do to clean my lungs from all this smoking and get able to fights. For 6 rounds please I will appreciate your help thanks Cheers boudi
Theres 2 much made about this if your doing any sort of combat sports the most vital thing is to actually do that sport as in thaiboxing your pad work bad work sparring and clinch shud b most important things u want get good at something by running your attention shud actually be in wot your trying 2 get good at
As much as I don't like running I still do that but I tend to more skip rope than running because that's what I think gives me more endurance but I run like probably about once or twice a week but I normally do the skip rope for like 3 to 5 times a week
i ran too much i was diagnosed with bradycardia. i never jogged or ran before, and i stopped in boxing and muay thai for a long time, but i jogged and ran instead, and when i came back some few sessions just for fun, i didn't get the explosiveness i used to, but i did recover cardio faster and had a more calm heart than before and so i lasted longer rounds in the pads and bags.

fitness cardio and fight/combat cardio are a he'll of a lot different. Fitness is a good start !
Great tips as always ✊
anaerobic includes atp-pc aswell, all of them do actually, at the start of using the lactic acid and aerobic our body uses ATP-PC to give us a quick jump. think of it like turning on the car. ATP-PC is the spark from your ignition
I'd run 3 days easy roadwork and 3 days on the treadmill doing intervals
Hey Shane! Love your videos! A couple of questions here: what do you do when your central nervous system is fried? I can't sleep properly and cannot relax for years now. And regarding the runs, what is a moderate pace? Should you feel pushed the entire time you run, or should you feel moderately exercised and have no problems keeping the pace with confort?
don't be afraid to step outside your comfort zone, in boxing i think it's best to be prepared to become as uncomfortable as possible at times (considering in fights you'll always push your limit or feel pressured to increase intensity by your opponent). I'd say balance the two area's of comfort and discomfort when doing roadwork - incorporate sprinting and changing of pace consistently. regarding your nervous system you just gotta see a good doctor my man. take it easy.
Hey Shayne; could you do a video on a complete training guide for fighters? So I'm talking about cardio as well as sport specific exercises like heavy bag, double end bag, sparring etc as well as maybe strength training as well? It's hard to fit it all in but would be sick if you could help out!
What's the benefit of running vs cardio/aerobic work on the bags, shadow boxing, footwork?
If you do Muay Thai you need to run I can’t stress this enough RUN!! If you wanna be a good fighter do it and then skip after you run
Thank You Shane And Nice Video!
Great thing about running 🏃 is you don't need a gym or equipment to do it
Running up a big mountain is the best, it gives you a lot more stamina!
Helped me a lot.... thanks!
Thanks buddy, much love, Mari
Thankyou I was running more than what I should have ran I did 5miles jog and 800m Sprint and got a hell of tired and shin splints
what about skipping rope ?
Like Shane said at the end, whatever you do you gotta keep your heart rate up for the amount of time that you're required. Things get pretty technical from there on out with whether you're training to increase your VO2max or your endurance, or whatever the goal of your cardio exercise may be. You could run a mile & skip rope on one day and hit the heavy bag & skip rope the next, it's all good homie.
what about shadowboxing only?
I think shadowboxing is better reserved for technique practice and it isn't that effective as a cardio exercise, but it could serve the same purpose if you get your heart rate up and keep it at the same level as you would with a run.
bottom line is if you're looking for excuses to not do roadwork you're lazy and probably not gonna be a very good fighter... The only reason you shouldn't be doing roadwork is if you have an injury that prevents you from running
I wouldn't go calling people lazy if they do put in the equivalent amount of effort with another cardio exercise. Roadwork is a classic as it is one of the best ways to build up your endurance and to train your VO2max. :)
Hey Shane,
I love the content, but you should really take a physiology class or something. It might be a bit nitpicky, but i just can't help myself.
You do have 3 energy systems, one witch is purely anaerobic, one who is purely aerobic, and one that works both anaerobic and aerobic depending on training intensity. They all utilize ATP for energy, the difference is how fast they can provide energy, and what kind of fuel they use.
The factors that determine your aerobic performance is going to be your work economy (your technique, among other things), your lactate threshold and your maximal oxygen uptake. While running can be great for increasing your maximal oxygen uptake (because the training effect is very general in nature), it does not affect your lactate threshold or work economy in the ring very much.
The idea with sport specific conditioning is a good idea because you have specific adaptions that don't happen unless you train specific to your sport.
If you want to discuss this, i would love to hear from you.
Interesting, thank you for sharing! Isn't it beneficial to get your heart rate up and keep it up (by running), lactate threshold aside?
Yes, like i mentioned, you can increase your maximal oxygen uptake this way, and that is going to be beneficial, but you don't get the adaptions that are specific to your sport.
If you want to test it out, you can try to put a decent runner on a bike, he is going to be exhausted fairly quickly, even tho he may be in great running shape. And the same way, running endurance doesn't transfer as well to endurance in the ring as specific training does.
On a physiological level there are adaptions that only happen when you practice your sport (like increases in capillary density and increases in enzyme activity). This is because you stress different muscles when you run then when you fight.
Running is great for increasing your maximal oxygen uptake because it utilize a lot of muscle mass, but the same benefits can be achieved while hitting the heavy bag, rolling or sparring, witch also gives you sport specific adaptions. Your heart doesn't know if you run, swim or spar, so you can utilize it, but it probably shouldn't be the bulk of your endurance training if performance is your main concern.
Thanks again for great content
Best Chanel on TH-cam keep going thanks for putting all this together for us I’m sure you spending a lot of time I appreciate it
If you would make a video about how to start training and get ready for fight after long lay back 4 years smoking and hardly training I’m not fat I don’t want to lose weight. I joined a gym and in the first class after 20 min grappling I gas out my lungs couldn’t keep going and I stoped I’m really upset with my self if you can explain what I should do to clean my lungs from all this smoking and get able to fights. For 6 rounds please I will appreciate your help thanks
Cheers boudi
Stamina = confidence
Roadwork is the key
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hey shane! Please teach stretching after training
Hi Shane..
Good to know..I'll do these
Definitely look up videos on proper running form to avoid injury!
I always do both running and sparring/hitting a heavy back for my cardio training
Theres 2 much made about this if your doing any sort of combat sports the most vital thing is to actually do that sport as in thaiboxing your pad work bad work sparring and clinch shud b most important things u want get good at something by running your attention shud actually be in wot your trying 2 get good at
This is so useful, thanks for making this video. Would you do sprints and jogging on the same day or keep these to separate days?
I think seperate is better.
GREAT VIDEO!!
People don't believe in running?! This is madness! Running is real. I've seen it.
Everytime i go running after a couple of months i look like a starving Ethiopian
Eddie Murphy sorry for your loss
Jack you mean a regular ethiopian ? i'm a terrible person
eat more protein and healthy stuff, at least three regular meals a day. Duh...
Jack lmaoo
more protein and more calories, eat more spaghetti and meat balls lol
As much as I don't like running I still do that but I tend to more skip rope than running because that's what I think gives me more endurance but I run like probably about once or twice a week but I normally do the skip rope for like 3 to 5 times a week
i ran too much i was diagnosed with bradycardia. i never jogged or ran before, and i stopped in boxing and muay thai for a long time, but i jogged and ran instead, and when i came back some few sessions just for fun, i didn't get the explosiveness i used to, but i did recover cardio faster and had a more calm heart than before and so i lasted longer rounds in the pads and bags.
Random that this popped up on my feed despite being 2 years old. I need this info.
@Siddhartha RC 😂
People are born to run. Period.
great video 👍
awesome shane
Running is essential in any walk of life as it's so basic
Great video a fan of your show can you please make a video about the treadmill and the elliptical
For my first fight I went to the gym 5 days a week,5km run for warm up,3 rounds of 2 mins sprints to cool down and other 2 day training kickboxing
hey Shane! Could u do More BJJ Moves?
very helpful shane 👌
Excellent video
how long should the rest be between the sprints bro. Love the vids by the way thanks.
A good way to rest between is slowly walking back 100m until you get to the end and then sprint again.
Yeah I'm gonna second that. Either walk or jog back the 100m then get on the sprint immediately.
Distance is better than time. Walk 50 paces, sprint 50 paces. When you feel comfortable, increase to walk 50, sprint 100. Etc.
slim1519 do HITT training. 30s-1min sprint at 80-100% and then jog lightly for 30secs to recover. Repeat for desired amount of sets.
Faith Rox pardon my misogyny but unless you have a vagina, training in time is most effective.
Shane, when is the best time to do the 10 sprints? Right after the 3 mile jog? I guess it could also be done right after a training session too.
I sprint 3 times and week and do a 3 mile jog once a week and I don't gas, honestly it's what ever suits you
thanks Shane
Your channel very nice.please add turkish subtitle
I don't like running alone except on treadmill and I have no one to run with.
