I would say approx 15 miles on the road not to include what they do on a tread mill |

Usually a low heart rate means you're fit but not always. Jim Ryun, who ran 3:51 for the mile on a crappy track had a resting heart rate in the 60s. Mine is in the 50s and I do a ton of endurance work. Triple_B: wouldn't high intensity activities increase your hearts stroke volume, which increases the amount of blood pumped by your heart? |

dahosse -I think his point is that there are so many elements in MMA that affect cardio, like grappling and wrestling. Not to mention knees, elbows, kicks and other techniques. MMA and boxing are completely different in that sense. There can be two MMA fighters exhausted after a fight where not even one punch has been thrown (even though that's not likely). If you watch MMA, you'd know that grappling is the most grueling aspect of it.NorthFromHere -No top boxers in their competitive prime have dropped down to mma compete, so this comment makes no sense on any level.dahosse -12SixElbow -Usually have better gas tanks, too

The answer is how close are the flashing blue lights! That's when a man is truly tested in his running game! |

Mine is in the 50s and I do a ton of endurance work. Of course there always exceptions to rules. There is also the chance that he didn't measure his heart rate when he woke up after a good nights rest which is most accurate. High intensity cardio = big strong heart capable of pumping more blood Steady state cardio = larger left ventricle capable of being filled up with more blood Who hydrates faster someone drinking 16 oz of water out of a glass with a large opening or someone drinking out of a straw? There is nothing wrong with where it is coming from but it could be delivered more efficiently. You need both, to neglect steady state work completely is not a good idea unless you have a low resting heart already in which case you probably only need it to make weight or break up the monotony of training at high intensity all the time. |

in_different - Many dont run. Its not the same kind of cardio. Gsp said he only does mma training and gymnastics for cardio. Weightlifting for looks. That's not true, in fact it has been shown to preserve knee strength as people age, but for people who already have knee problems (like pro athletes) it can exacerbate them. |

Looks like Rampage runs a lot too now(thanks to his shoes) and it helps him out with his stamina. “When I first looked at it, I thought, 'what am I gonna be doing, running on the moon?'" said Rampage. "Surprisingly enough, this design is really, really comfortable. I’ve been running in these shoes for like three months now and have no complaints about it. It took my running to a whole ‘nother level. I hate running! I have a short attention span and I hate running because it’s mundane. You’re running on a treadmill or on the streets and you gotta stop at the lights. With these shoes, you can go anywhere!” “I wanted to test these shoes out and prove them wrong but I couldn’t. I was running over rocks and logs and in mud, up dirt hills, it doesn’t bother me. It made my cardio much better by doing what I want to do…I wanted to see what these shoes couldn’t do, that’s the type of person I am, I’m a fighter at everything. I haven’t found one thing these shoes can’t do yet.” |
