BRING some running shoes (and plan to run outdoors--and maybe get wet!). If you did not see this, sucks for you...you can run barefoot. See you tonight. DJ

I want to stress the importance of running for conditioning, core strength, and endurance. This is what Thai training camps will tell you (and what you WILL do).

• Up at 6, run 6-9 miles, 2 hours of training (bags, pads, sparring, neck wrestling) eat. About 3pm, run another 6 miles, and 2 more hours of training. Eat. Sleep. Repeat (6-7 days per week).
• Running is best to start your training session.
• After your run upon returning to the gym grab a skipping rope and skip for 10 - 20 minutes, skipping is also an important exercise for boxers and Muay Thai fighters.
