Most of the time, I'm in the 3 classes a week...but when I fight, this is how it goes for at least a month out, and I wouldn't try it any other way. It's okay to be beaten by somebody with more skill, but because your conditioning's not on par?? your cheating yourself. 6 hours a day, 6 days a week, skipping perhaps one extra day a week every now and then, for a month and a half. It's not as bad as it sounds...especially when you like to train...I enjoy it.
But...yeah...you're right, after 3 weeks of this, I was pretty damn sick of it. I guess part of it explains why I haven't fought since...I spent the last year and a half being burned out on muay thai...picked up smoking...have a girlfriend, and am going to college...I don't know if I want to fight again...(I REALLY want to...but there's just too much on my plate right now to even consider it rationally.)
Muay Thai 2-a-days...I did 'em...it almost fucking killed me...but I did them.
My trainers really wanted me to win. One of them worked at my parent's restraunt, and one's wife and daughter works there, so I guess they wanted to push me to make sure I won...or convince me to give up...

in all honesty i'd say the guys training you are doing you a huge diservice! i would find someone else, having said that i can tell you that most of the champion boxers & kickboxers i had the pleasure of interviewing or training with work hard but not as hard as one may think, i'll use two examples- danny steele he's a world champion muay thai boxer, does no more than 15 rounds of gym work when training this includes shadow, bag work, and sparring, he did about 150 push ups and about 400 total reps for abs thats it. his road work was anywhere between 3-5 miles a day which in all honesty was alot more closer to 3 than 5 he doesn't use weights, also former world champion boxer iran barkley ran 3 miles a day and did about 17 rounds of gym work most of which was sparring, he did about 8 rounds a day! he did 300 total reps for abs and never did push ups or used weights. now what you have to remember is these are guys fighting for sometimes big money (barkley anyway) and fighting up to 12 rounds and this is all they do the rest of the day is either spent laying around or sleeping! you as an amature should imo be doing no more than 10 rounds of gymwork TOTAL and running for time no more than 30 minutes you should only train 5 days a week.
