    Id say the one time when me and my friend made a bet that whoever would stop running first would have to be the other 10 dollars and it finally ended at 23 laps around the school track and totalled up to 5.75 miles in one of those type of hot ass summer days where you could walk for a couple minutes and break out in sweat not to mention running at the middle of the day.

            I do a combination of bag, pad and weight work (light dumbell work in between rounds), but try to make it a HIIT session where possible total between 20 and 40 mins (max).

            Variation keeps it interesting and makes you motivated to train hard, but to help me understand and plan training I use a HRM. I use a Suunto T4 and the difference with that device is (based on your personal parameters that you enter, age, max, HR, weight etc) is that it measures "load" (metabolic drift).

            In a nutshell it tells you how hard (intensity) you've trained. It isn't sport specific but measures your HR over the period (how quickly it rises, drops, etc) and turns it into a number from 1 to 5. ! ain't worth a mention, 2 to 3 is a "maintaining" workout, 3 to 4 is "improving" and 4 to 5 is "highly improving".

            I wear the chest strap and hang the watch on the wall when I use the bag and set the display to show HR and Training Effect (TE,this is the number from 1 to 5 in Suunto speak) so that I know where I'm at with my workout.

            The watch also has a coach function (based on an American Sports college study) that can be used for fitness training - you can follow or ignore the coach. When you follow the "Coach" the aim is to hit the Coaches target TE in the designated time, i.e. 3.8 in 40 mins. The Coach gives you a rolling 5 day programme which adjusts if you under or over train (compared to the requested programme).

            Also, as you get fitter the device raises things like your max HR and it's understanding of your fitness and frequency/duration and intensity of training. Basically it gets harder to hit the same headline numbers over time and getting to a 5, for example is a very hard workout and would necessitate extra rest if you did something like that.

            I think this works well for all aerobic activites, including boxing, and you can use it for a mixed training programme including multiple sports/activities. The only thing that I think is missing is that any workouts where you cannot wear the device cannot be manually uploaded to the PC software that you can use to track your workouts. They do sell another product that fills that gap, but it's more cash obviously!

            My point is, for this particular thread, that Suunto T4 would "tell" you which had been your hardest workouts and is very useful in preventing over training, a trap that's very easy to fall into, especially when first starting training. It might also surprise you which of your workouts are actually the hardest!

                It sounds complicated, but the watch turns everything into the 1 to 5 numbers and basically that's all you need to understand.

                Really useful, if like me cos of work and family etc,you don't have long to train and/or train on your own and need to get the most out of a limited time.
