I wanna start running to improve my cardio for my boxing. However, Im pretty overweight currently, so how best should I start to eventually work up to proper runs. Also, how often should I go for funs, and for how long/what distance? Will running affect my boxing and strength training sessions?
Is it generally considered rude to your partner to defend during drills? For example, if the coach asks you guys to practise your 1-2, is it rude if while your partner is throwing their 1-2, you parry and block or something?
Edit: thanks for the replies. Im just gonna clarify two things: i intended to ask my question in the context that both guys have gloves on, not during drills where one guy is holding pads for the other.
Also, I understand that countering randomly during the drill is inappropriate, I was talking more like parries, blocks, checks etc. Or even a slip on the last punch in the combo. I wasnt talking about things like rolling and countering or slipping and countering. Basically, nothing that fundamentally alters the combination that the person throwing is throwing.
Anyway, I appreciate the responses and will follow the most common piece of advice Ive gathered: clarify with your coach and training partner.
