Running

[Tom Yum]

I remember when Tom Yum first wrote this thread. I thought to myself--running will go against all laws of kicking. Now, look--it's 9,000+ hits later and still going strong. Who would have thought so many martial artist ran!!!

A typical boxer's training regiment has him running 2-4 miles per day to maintain a base level of cardio vascular stamina and leg endurance.

Muaythai fighters need more leg endurance and stamina because of all the kicking, kneeing and leg on leg impact so they run 4-6 miles per day. I think olympic TKD fightes do a great deal of running too.

1.5 mile jog. Hamstrings smoked from yesterday's walking lunge steps.

Weight room from 9:35 to 10:25. I did stretching, abs, legs, shoulders, and triceps. Then after school i went to pre season practice. We first ran half a mile. Then did sprints for a while and at the end of each sprint we had to do situps or pushups(switching off). Then we had to run the whole football field and back. I pretty much went really hard(harder than anyone else) for these excersizes(what i just described). BUT, then we had to run the bleachers 10 times! And there's like 10 or 12 different starewells for each bleacher. So thats like 100 to 120 stairs we had to run up and back down! Plus, we had to run back all the way to the start of the bleachers. I was so exhausted from that. More exhausted than i ve been in a while.

Then we went back into the mat room and drilled singles, doubles, head clears, snap downs, switches, stand ups, etc. But that was alot easier than the 10 bleachers. Then we did some live wrestling. And finally we did 10 pullups and that was it. Im glad i went.

LOL, it's turned into this defacto training log for like five or six of us.

One helluva fitness-SD community.

So, handstand pushups with a spotter holdong my ankles are only slightly harder than doing them on the wall. Even with the spotter only barely touching.
Also, I notice that I lose my balance more when trying to push back up than anything.

I conclude that this is a balance issue more than stabilizers and raw strength is not involved at all.

Will continue to practice and report back.



On another subject, only managed the CFWUX3 yesterday - nothing more. Well, there was the margarita bicep press at a birthday celabration for a friend...

Still nursing my elbow, so I did a WOD I made up. 3 rounds of 33 reps situps, walking lunges, squats and good mornings. Just under 20 minutes. I think that's slow but have nothing to compare it to.

I'll try it with a spotter holding my ankles tonight. That should help locate the weakness.

Any Results?

Three five-minute sets of ice on my elbow. Trying to work up to five sets of seven minutes.

130 Good mornings
150 situps.
80 pushups.
20 handstand pushups with wall support.

Held headstand position for a while then handstand position. The handstand was on the wall most of the time :P

I think its more about putting your legs in the correct position and maintaining it. I just tried it on the wall several times and ended up holding for a few seconds without it after I kept re-positioning my legs. And that site actually helps, I never knew toes could affect your balance so much.

I'm begining to think its more in the shoulder stabilizers and core stabilizers seeing we can bang out reps with the assistance of the wall.

I WWWaaanntt!!

Ha, Ha, no.
I have the same problem. I guess it's just a matter of getting stable handstands and practice. My arms collapse and I tip over, so maybe it's also a strength issue.
