[warriorsingh84']

how many of you guys are planning to continue doing roadwork in the mornings during the winter??? is there anything that can be substituted for roadwork, or should I just keep at it during the winter??

if it has to be done it has to be done and no bitching.i run at 11 to 12 o'clock at night and i have to be up for work at 6:45 then work a 10 to 12 hour shift(i work for a moving company in which were outside moving ppl into there house all day) then go to boxing for about an hour to an hour and a half.and run at 11 to 12 o'clock at night. so if your dedicated to boxing u shouldnt have a problem

4:30 AM, rain or. . . well, up here, it's rain or rain. It clouded over yesterday & will be cloudy all week, which means it will start raining next week and stop raining in May. I'm not kidding. Between now and then it will be between 30-40F, and raining, every ****ing morning at 4:30. I did it last year, I'll do it this year.

What's funny is, last year was the first year I didn't catch cold in the winter. And I was out in the freakin' rain for an hour every morning.

Well, how about doing tredmill instead for couple of months?

I always ran regardless of the weather (within reason)and I advise my guys to do the same.

It is easy getting up and running 5 mile on a warm summer morning but it takes dedication to get up in the snow or rain.

I am a firm beliver in building mental strength as well as physical strength, its hard work running head on up hill into a gale force wind with rain coming down your throat but it will make you stonger and more resiliant.

Just make sure you wear the correct clothing(weather resistant and visable) and warm up and warm down well.

So I was wrong. It was raining this morning when I hit the stairs.

yea i plan to it depends on how dedicated you are to boxin i love it and am dedicated so i run every mornin (nearly) rain or shine

The real problem is if you live in a place where it gets really cold. At -7 degrees Celsius (I'm not sure that's accurate, maybe it's -10?) you will actually be in danger of damaging your lungs.

Anyway, when it's cold, make sure you have on more than enough clothes. The colder your legs get, the easier it is to get injuries. Also put something on your head and hands. And remember to spend more time than usual getting warmed up, before you really let loose.

treadmills are for warm ups. roadword requires more than just jogging. I know you are new to boxing. So I'll point out that Sprints and Plyometrics are an important part of a successfull roadwork plan
