Hatred of running has developed

[cosmic]

a dog huh... I think It's also really motivating to go to the gym where everyones sweating it out and running/doing your thing there but they won't let me in cause I'm 14 and shiz,

[Trigger unhappy]

I've developed a feeling of absolute hatred, yes, hatred for running, it's so boringm long and it's like the opposite of my style, It's soo bad, and it's not laziness because I love that feeling of tiredness and I love being tired when on the heavy bag and on the pads and practising etc..., it's just that running is so booooooooooring, can anyone spare some some high intense exercises as a pose to running which get me tired as much, burn as much calories, you know, tire me out and condition me just as much

Do you have an iphone? Try this.

I agree running is boring; however, most guys only run flats and long distance runs, which is not a boxers complete road work program. You should be running long distance runs for aerobic conditioning, hills/sand for strength and endurance, and sprints/up hill sprints for speed and anaerobic conditioning. Who should also run at different places like, parks, mountains, beach, hiking trails, and invite a friend or take your dog. If your friend can't run, let him/her use a bike. Create some excitement, challenge a gym partner to some stair climbing at the beach or a stadium; college or some high school bleachers.

Its conditioning the body and the mind! If you hate it over ride your hate knowing its a MUST to be in top condition to box! Theres NO getting away from road work! Ray

Just google mapped the route I run, Been thinking it was a 3 mile run (jog and brisk walk for me really, I'm old and soft) turns out its actually 3.9 miles, I'm feeling like a bad-ass right now. Whole time I thought my 3 mile time was ok but a little weak. Turns out I got a pretty good 4 mile time for my age/health.

I found running to be boring and painful, a tough mental exercize too. That brain starts telling you that its hard to breathe, your leg hurts, just cut it a bit short, just walk this part off, its too hot/cold/windy/wet etc... Gotta distract that - mp3 player, daydream, change of location, run with a buddy....

If you have kids, build a rickshaw (spelling?) and run them around, they'll love it, plus it gives you some resistance... Or build one for commercial use and make yourself some money while you run...
Borrow a dog, make him your running buddy, make sure if you're in a city he runs on a lead well... nothing is worse than trying to run with a dog that is slowing you down because he can't figure his leash out.

IMO intervals should be part of your running routine, not a "Run harder for less time" kind of thing, if you are short on time thats fine, but if you have 1 hour to run/jog, you have 1 hour to do intervals, they're not a shortcut.... my opinion only, do something like Monday - jog tuesday interval, etc.

My last bit of advice.... run with a purpose. Pick a store that is roughly the distance you should be running, find an item at that store that is a treat for you, preferably something you can only get there. Make yourself a deal that you'll never drive to that store, you'll only walk/run/jog/bike to it...
(LOL, I did this with a liquor store for years)
