I am trying to get in shape for MMA and have been working on my cardio big time but I just don't make progress running. I am losing fat pretty fast but I still cannot run for sh*t! Sprints are ok but nothing for distance. Idealy I would like to be able to run at least 4-5 miles without stopping at a rate of about 9mph (this would be 9.0 on the treadmill). That is my goal. Please somebody give me a good routine to get there asap. I am willing to work HARD to get there, but have no direction. Lifitng I am good at and dieting, but i have no clue how to run or what tactics to use.

MMA, oh brother, just what we need is another stone faced warrior ::)

maybe a running forum would help?

find some literature by tudor bompa online or in the library.. most dI track programs still utilize his training philosphy / regimen.. I know LSU's program and Texas A&M's program do and they are two of the most successful in collegiate history

MMA= beer drinkers according to PBF

I found his site, but sadly am a bit too poor to fork over 90 bucks for a program. Anything free online I can scope?

get a library book the price is right

Its not fucking rocket science, just run 3-4 days a week and increase by half a mile a week to avoid injury.After a few weeks increase to 5 days a week, its running for christ sake, youve been doing it since you were 2.

u just gotta keep doing it
and keep going when u feel like stopping

when i was preparing for my boxing match I would do sprinting sessions twice a week and a long jog once a week.
A sprinting session would usually consist of sprinting 100 metres then jogging 100 metres then repeating.
For example
Spring, jog, spring, jog..................100 0 metres in total
5 sets
(obviously the distance and sets will vary accodring to the current stage you're currently at)
When i did this my stamina went through the roof in terms of gains, its extremly hard but the fight will be alot easier if you implement this routine.
Trust me; you dont need to jog 10 miles to gain stamina. Same with workouts in the MMA gym, no need to go 10 sloppy rounds when you can go 5 hard ones. Remember intensity is the key.

Ok so If I hit the gym today after back and abs I want to run. Based on what you are recommending I'm thinking of hitting wind sprints for 25 minutes, then stretching, then 25 minutes of what jogging? Or should I run? Run but not sprint. Also would using the sauna be beneficial? Im thinking sweating some water out before I run will help as It will cut some water weight. I retain a fair amount of water just a natural thing.

wind sprints?
You shouldnt do this workout i recommended after a weightlifting session simplpy because you wont have enough enerygy, if you really want to get in shape you should do it on a seperate day all together.
Just do sprints and fast jogs, mix it up....dont get too scientific, if you're struggling to breathe then obviously you are going to be better next time around. Btw I never did it on a treadmil, i did it on my local park at night usually when nobody was there.
Fuck the sauna, whats the point when ur going to drink back the fluids anyway?
A sauna is only neccessary if on fightnight you havent made the weight and you need to sweat the weight off
Another routine is this:
Find a 400m track
Sprint around it, then rest for 30-50 seconds then sprint again. Do that as many times as you can and time yourself.

That would give you a sub 3 hour marathon. I don't think you should make that your goal. Be realistic

dude...I admire your determination....but running at 9.0 on the treadmill for four or five miles is impossible unless you are a professional runner....at that speed you won't even make one mile//try 5.0 instead...then you'll have a chance..you are trying to bite off more than you or anyone can chew

plus youll burn up all your muscle.
Guys with lots of muscle do low-intensity cardio.
I like to run for 4-5 minutes at 6 or 7 mph, but then it's back to slow pace. Otherwise I get scrawny and abs come out, a sure sign i'm doing something wrong.

if the goal is to be thick and strong and have great endurance then yes RUN but you must consume A LOT OF Calories everyday to at best partially recover from day to day/consecutive every day running. You will be gradually consuming more and more food naturally to grow into and adapt it will take a few months of this EVERYDAY RUNNING to be really good
-
if youre training for MMA...train for MMA. Running is only one facet of cardio endurance.....spar 3 minute rounds and work your way into sparring for multiple 5 minute rounds
try other things like wind sprints/ hill runs
jumping rope for rounds
swimming

Get used to running uphill. 15% incline is good... (work your way up to it if your not used to it) HIIT style. Keep the incline the same but vary the speeds, from fast walking to sprinting.
NO holding on!!! >:(

Running sucks. Choose a low impact form of cardio.

I had a BJJ teacher that said every 15? minutes of running is like 1 minute of BJJ. or something like that.

There are so many factors that go into conditioning for fighting whether boxing or MMA. Bodybuilders are the worse people to ask advice concerning this. Most perma bulkers couldn't run around the block or box an effective 3 minute round because they have no true conditioning. They are so use to impressing their ego with their half squats, quarter leg presses and again half range of motion presses of all type. Most are in horrible condition. I just ran into this at a local 5K race. One of the sponsors was this local big gym. They sent three of their cosmetic bodybuilder trainers to enter because they were one of the sponsors of the race. Every chubby soccer mom ran past them at the one mile mark. It was embarrassing.
In addition to practicing your stand up game and submission wrestling you should also do conditioning drills. Running is one part of the equation. I have never met a wrestler or boxer that didn't run. You need both distance and sprint intervals. Don't listen to guys that bodybuild who walk on a treadmill like an old lady or only do 100 meter repeats.

This thread has given me some good info! This post in particular.
Here is where I am, and my goals. I will be HONEST (which few are).
Age 29
Height 5 ft 9 1/2
weight 215
waist about 30 inches closer to 29
BF around 14% (Just a guess I will text anyone a couple pics if they like pm me your # I have some recent shots)
Currently I can sprint pretty well and am attempting to be both strong fast and agile with excellent endurance. I want to get down to 195 keeping my strength if not getting stronger and have excellent cardio.
Trained for BBing for years but got sick of it. I am ready for something new and have excellent genes (natural BTW have been about 4-5 years now). I took karate about 7 years when I was younger so I have a good foundation for martial arts though by no means would I say I really know what I am doing. I am def a beginner. I work about 2 miles from AKA and that is where I was planning to join.

So what is a good incline to start with? 4% or 3%? So I would say walk for 5 then do my sprints and then what keep doing this incline until it gets easy and then move up 1% at a time? I mean I really do need a routine here. I have no clue what to do really.
-
Should I just run twice a day using various techniques until I get good at it? And forego the weights? I can put on muscle relatively easy and quickly.

Start off at 8%.. every week bump it up 2-3%. Work your way up to 15% gradually..once you get comfortable with that keep increasing the intensity speedwise. 2 min fast walk, 1 minute run intervals. At the end of each 1 minute running interval you should feel close to puking. Do not stop, but set the speed at a fast walk pace and recover that way until its time to run again. Again, do not hold on! this totally defeats the purpose.
Do a good 5 minute warmup with a fast walk. my speed varies between 3.7 (walking)and 6.5 mph (running) at 15% incline.
The cardio workout should last between 20-30 min per day, with a total of 4-5 running intervals. Its very intense but it will get you in great shape if you can stick with it.

go outside and put 1 foot in front of the other and just do that repeatedly at a fast pace.

Keep lifting. If nothing else at least keep compound movements.. squats, deadlifts. Bare minimum. You want to be a fast runner glute/hamstring strength is very important..well overall leg strength really. Best not to have imbalances that could lead to injury
I forgot to mention, practice your breathing during the cardio warmup and throughout the session. No short/shallow breaths...you wont last 3 minutes. Deep breathing..3 seconds in, 3 seconds out. It will make it so much easier.
Make sure you have a fan blowing in your face or some good form of ventilation, and lots of water handy. You will need it.

It went alright. I managed a full 20 minutes with the incline at 8% and I never lowered it. Managed about 10 minutes of 5.5 and another 5 min of 3.2 and 5 min at 2.8. I had to get off three times for a quick breather/water break. Intense! I felt sick for a couple hours after. Honestly this seems to be what I was looking for as my body was just NOT made for running on a flat surface. It's just not effective. Thanks for the advice, I'm sticking with it and will update every few days or so. Also in a couple days i'll put up some progress pics and what not.

Is it safe to take ECA before running on an incline? Will help with energy. I was thinking 1 bronkaid with a strong cup of coffee and a couple 81mg aspirin. I'm sure it will give me energy, but would it increase my risk of heart attack? Oh and add a bit of baking soda I happen to like it for cardio. 1/2 teaspoon or so.

Will it increase the risk? yes. increased blood pressure and the heart pitter patters.
Will it increase the risk anything to worry about? Depends on your age, fitness, and fmaily history.
Honestly, using ECA with fast incline running makes no sense. If you want to shed body fat, you use ECA and low-intensity cardio for 30-40 minutes, first thing in the AM. If you want to increase your endurance and fitness levels and running ability, you leave the ECA at home.

In my humble opinion - nothing.
Spend 1 week getting off caffeine completely.
Then, use 1/4 to 1/2 of a yellow caffeine tablet - ONLY on days you run, 45 minutes before you hit the treadmill. Your sensitivity to caff will be thru the roof. You'll sweat buckets and have insane energy. Crazy retard strength as well.
Then you don't use any caffeine (and go very easy on tea/coffee) until 48 ot 72 hours have passed and you're ready to run once again.
ECA will give you plenty of energy. it'll bump your metabolism up 2 to 3 percent. it'll also put you in that stringy catabolic state. IMO, if you're over 25, and just trying to get lean, it's not worth it. But opinions are like getbiggers...

Wow, thats great! Keep it up. You will be amazed at your capacity in the near future to run on flat surfaces ;)
Running/walking on incline is also lower impact.
& Yes you are supposed to feel sick. That will go away/wont be as severe once you get used to it...but on that note keep increasing the intensity.
-
I just realized you are WALKING at 3.7??? Is this accurate??>?
Yes. I'm 34 yrs/ 5'5" female, so I dont have long legs.. but been training like this for years so it doesnt seem that intense.
No particular reason for it, other than I love the way it makes me feel... so ALIVE!

I would suggest something like green tea/EGCG,and/or black coffee, and maybe an aspirin if your legs are sore. Try to get through it without the ephedrine or bronkaid. You dont wanna become dependent, and its bad for your heart so I hear.

Ok. Im off in a couple minutes for round 2! Took a prohormone and 1/2 bronkaid. We will see how it goes! I do not plan to become dependant, but I need to get some momentum going then I will cut the ancillaries.

Boxings much harder than MMa, for boxing you need to be tough and skilled aas you will get hit and hurt a lot, for mma as long as you have skill to sub an opponent you wont get hurt too much,
boxers are far tougher

Is your refrigerator running? If so go catch it great program right there :D
-

yup. Damn proud of it! Yesterday was hitting the wind sprints. Speed 6.0 incline 8%. I did 5 1 min sprints (the first one was closer to a min and a half really) mixed with walking at 3.0. Kept the grade up the entire time. Whole thing with 5 min warmup has me on the tread about 30 min followed by 10-15 on the bike easy pace though. Amazing results! Have to say the crazy part is that my heart is becoming used to it, and bouncing up to 165-185 down to 130 back up and down with really no prob. Then a couple minutes of walking and it's back down to 110 and I hop on the bike. Pretty crazy honestly. I am almost ready to bump the incline to 10% but I want to be able to do 6 sprints at 6.5 and reduce my recovery time to 2 min and I will do it. I am shocked and amazed the majority of america would not be doing this given the easy access and affordabilty of major gym chains and treadmills. Sickening really.

yup. Damn proud of it! Yesterday was hitting the wind sprints. Speed 6.0 incline 8%. I did 5 1 min sprints (the first one was closer to a min and a half really) mixed with walking at 3.0. Kept the grade up the entire time. Whole thing with 5 min warmup has me on the tread about 30 min followed by 10-15 on the bike easy pace though. Amazing results! Have to say the crazy part is that my heart is becoming used to it, and bouncing up to 165-185 down to 130 back up and down with really no prob. Then a couple minutes of walking and it's back down to 110 and I hop on the bike. Pretty crazy honestly. I am almost ready to bump the incline to 10% but I want to be able to do 6 sprints at 6.5 and reduce my recovery time to 2 min and I will do it. I am shocked and amazed the majority of america would not be doing this given the easy access and affordabilty of major gym chains and treadmills. Sickening really.
Thanks for keeping us updated on your progress! Glad this is working out well for you! Props for sticking with it. :)

I can't make the elliptical work for me for some reason. Something about moving around your arms and legs rhythmically that my body just doesn't seem to like.
