About my trainings
I train myself 6 times a week. Usually on Mondays my mornings begin from running. I run in the pine forest in the suburb of Novosibirsk. My usual morning training goes on for an hour or an hour and ten minutes. The distance is a little more than 10 km. My evening trainings on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday constitute a work on a mat with sparring-partners.

Which is it? Just bait for chumps or something you actually believe? I know you seem to have problems with basic logic, but these two statements cannot both be true.

Fedor also did a lot of roadwork during his fighting career.
running "for cardio" is conventional wisdom, its what most people do!
however....would your expect a heavy to "run for cardio" as long/far as a 115 yet not expect the 115 to LIFT AS MUCH as the heavy??
perhaps if karelin had been grappling "for cardio" instead of running he would not have gasses against roulon gardner!!!!
wrestling is 10X the cardio as running...!!!
running is a waste of mat time
Oh Rulon Gardner. I remember when Pride fed Hidehiko Yoshida to him. He punched the poor man's face into oblivion.

well thats a simple technique used to bait people into jumping to conclusions...
"only heavyweights should coach heavyweights" doesn't mean its should be illegal for a lightweight coach to train a heavyweight
it means THATS WHAT IS BEST in a perfect world
An OPTIMISED training strategy
got it?

Show us on the special doll where Running touched you...
LISS running is conventional wisdom because it works. It's been a part of the GPP for athletes, fighters etc long before either of us were here, and it will continue to be so long after we're both in the cold ground. Just because you don't like and/or suck at running doesn't mean it's not useful.
It wasn't an attempt to bait a response. It was a statement of what you believe, which was clearly, demonstrably, incorrect. Your pitiful, desperate attempts to back-pedal only serve to make you look weaker and dumber.

Karelin: 4 Olympic Golds and 1 Silver. Undefeated for 13 years. 887 - 2. FILA ranked him as the greatest Greco-Roman Wrestler of the 20th Century.
But if only he'd had you as a coach, Karelin might have achieved something special, eh?![]()
You can condense your cartoon cavalcade into one response if you like...LOL
we had a 2hr block to practice wrestling 5x days per week
TRADITIONALLY the athletes would check in... dress out and run their laps B4 they actually got ON THE MAT
about 15 min for lightweights 20-25 for middles and the 220-289 came in about 35...45 min later limping having "timed out" and never completing all the laps [completely gassed out and demoralized]
I COMPLETELY ELIMINATED this practice and ALL MY WRESTLERS checked in...dressed out and BEGAN THEIR WHARM UPS [that i designed] ...10 min later they WERE ALL WRESTLING NOT RUNNING!!!!!
in short order I BROKE ALL THE SCHOOL RECORDS for the 30years of wrestling at that school!!!
Why WASTE time running if you COULD BE WRESTLING...[SIMPLE]
WRESTLING is 10x more cardio than RUNNING!!!!
If you cant WRESTLE ride a bike or swim [more cardio in less time than running]
Running is traditional and traditions die hard especially with the simple minded "student" mentality
# got that?
# sport specific cardio!
I alraedy have a thread explaining this SIMPLE fact
https://forums.sherdog.com/threads/...ers-do-so-poorly-at-mma-cardio.3951245/page-4
this thread is about all the OTHER differences between heavyweight fight sports...[nobody seems to know anything about it, despite the videos i poster with world champs explaining it] in the OP]

You broke all the wrestling records for your school. Karelin set the standard for the entire world in Greco-Roman Wrestling. There's a reason Brady and Belichick don't hire high school football coaches to run their training programs. And it has nothing to do with, "conventional wisdom".
Or to put it another way

O MAN...
age:15
occupation:student
location:moms basement
you can waste your training time "running for cardio" if you want but your gonna get BEAT by athletes that use sport specific cardio programs because they are not wasting their time doing something that has 1/10th the cardio demand as wrestling
# got that?
Everyone gets beat sometimes. Karelin, Fedor, Ali, and many other GOAT's have achieved more than you and all your students could dream of. And all of them included running as part of their GPP.
Stick to coaching high school, and leave discussions like these to people who actually know whereof they speak.

Thats a cute little cartoon
Just because everybody you admire "runs for cardio" doesnt mean its the best way to spend your time
Lets take 3 genetically identical clones who have two hours per day of training opportunity
One spends 3/4 of his time running 1/4 of his time in MMA
The 2nd spends 1/2 his time running the other 1/2 in MMA
The third athlete doesn't run at all but spends 100% of his training time in MMA
Which athlete is most likely to win in a MMA contest?
