This is something I have emailed Ross at Rossboxing.com about. He also suggested the Tabata interval training method as well. I mean, for us weekend warriors, roadwork sometimes isn't an option with time constraints and all. So the Tabata routine is a good alternative. I have been adding the Tabata intervals to my routine for about 3 weeks and have noticed some big differences in speed and stamina. Also, we are not training as runners but as fighters, so the intense cardio session of a Tabata interval on a bag is more sport specific than running to me. Just make sure you add something for your footwork like rope or burpees.
Check out Ross's site and literature, the man is a training freak, and he knows his shit.
