Aerobic system training is hugely important. It improves resting heart rate, HRV, and raises your anaerobic threshold. Also, While wrestling is anaerobic, all recover is aerobic. Improve your aerobic system, improve your recovery both during training (between rounds or explosive movements) and post training. Every athlete needs a strong aerobic system. The benefits of it is instrumental.

As a distance track runner in high school, we never even ran long periods of time every day. I bring up high school because we never placed worse than 3rd at state when I was in high school and we won state my senior year and the year after I graduated. Certain days we focused solely on form, some days we targeted our lactic acid, some days we really grounded out intense long distance runs and some days we ran for 3-4 miles at a slow and relaxed pace just to keep the blood flowing. Every day served a purpose, but believe me, even the guys that ran the 2-mile event didn’t even run 2 total miles every day at practice. So, yes I’d agree with this guy.

[@GarageStrength]

Great story! Thanks for sharing 💪

[@mamareadsafricaoriginal8770]

How would you target your lactic acid?

[@jomama969]

@@mamareadsafricaoriginal8770 we did 4 rounds of 1,000 meter runs at a hard pace. You got a strict 30 second break and had to start your next round. Like stamina, your body built a tolerance to lactic acid buildup and you did not fatigue nearly as fast. It was mostly beneficial for distance guys that ran 2 or 3 events and had to recover quickly.

[@jomama969]

@El Sordo same with Nick Saben. He doesn’t have his guys do 16 110s. Yet how many high school and middle school coaches spend an entire hour of practice running sprints?

[@chrisbera7952]

I was an Aerobic and An aerobic machine when I was a runner, (long distance running and middle distance track,) and played hours of basketball. From my experience, having that long aerobic base with anaerobic interval training makes you bullet proof for cardio. Doing runs interspersed with intervals during the run is a time saver and can kill two birds with one stone.

[@ianacorn5207]

Okay 👌

[@redfoxparadox2288]

I always run a lot before the season starts like maybe the first month and then just focused on fast pace drilling. The running helps me but i feel like its because i mixed it up with running 1 or 2 miles and then doing sprints at the end. I was a good runner and had a crazy good gas tank now i have to work on my strenght i dont feel necessarily weak but i still want to match those guys that are raelly strong from cutting weight or just work out a lot

[@karlievbayram811]

Running teaches nothing but just simple running. Running for many miles as a constant wrestling conditioning approach will never equip wrestler with some valuable skills for pure mat performance. Only wrestling practice on the mats helps wrestlers to be wrestlers. Running is not for wrestlers at all.

[@GarageStrength]

Well said! It has it's place, but wrestlers need to be careful with how it's used 👍

[@em34ev3r]

Its good for your general health on the side, like keeping your blood fluid and free flowing. Good for the cardiovascular. But for competition or grappling conditioning, it has very little affect for that.

Best wat to get better endurance in my experiences, is to just wrestle for long periods of time. I live wrestled (with small breaks in between) an hour and a half 2 days a week, rest of the week I did weight lifting and some light jogging. Also remember to keep a good wright, NO JUNK FOOD, and drink a gallon of water throughout the day. This was especially hard for me. This is my off season schedule by the way. Your video did help me a lot by the way. It gave me more detailed advice.

Hey Dane, this was very helpful, I mean like verrrryyyy helpful. I like how you stressed about applied cardio from the sports specific training philosophy, also it was cool how you talked about tailoring training for the specific needs of the size/class of the athlete. As a wrestler and combat athlete your information regarding training has been very valuable, rather than just the old school lift and run mentality. Dont really have any requests or suggestions, I guess my specific interests lie in the anaerobic glycoliitic realm and different routines to improve that function, but you've done a good jon answering that, so I guess I'll just stay tuned to see what more you give us in terms of the aerobic conditioning for us bigger wrestlers as I'm 250.

[@dougtovey8010]

a well balanced training program is like a well balanced diet. There are no short cuts, no secrets, etc., Many great wrestlers don't look like they ever get tired because they don't usually get in bad position. What coach is telling us is that running is important but running wrong or too much is a negative. Deep down, we all know there is no substitute for running and running hard. In my personal regimin I have found no other substitute for a good hard run. That being said, my fastest 10k came shortly after our high school season had ended, I was over 40 and in my mind hadn't been training like I normally would. However, I had been doing a 40 minute weightlifting circuit with the wrestling team that I coached twice a week. Partners go in 30 second intervals 30 on 30 off then rotate. about 35 stations. Cleans, Bench, Squats, Jumps, Pull-ups, Stairs, etc., you get the idea . . . . Saturday after the state tournament I set a PR in my 10k. Coach is on the right track. But, I think you guys saying that you never run are flirting with danger. Well Balanced approach will work best.

[@joetalking7363]

[@littlethuggie]

Jogging is great for literally every sport, not because it 'directly transfers', but for the increased aerobic capacity, which correlates with better recovery times between sets, days, etc; the ability to handle more volume in training; mental toughness, etc. This is why every Soviet athlete did it.

What about swimming? I didn't wrestle competitively after HS, but I still did train submission grappling. And alot of my base is wrestling. And I also swim a mile a day in the mornings. Before training in the evenings, and I notice my cardio is alot better then when I was in HS wrestling

[@johnflais3776]

Honestly, I think this type of discussion is usually a bit one-sided, because most of us have been hearing the side of the S&C coach elaborated in depth, while the wrestling coach often does not get to explain his position properly. My case was basically the other way around: I was an avid weight lifter, partially because I had run track in high school and had gotten sick of it. Then I got a Dagestani Freestyle coach, who told us that we shouldn’t lift weights, because (in his words) “Your job is to lift people, not weights”. His philosophy was: Monday to Friday an easy (!) 20 min morning run with some stretching afterwards, as well as one or (ideally) two 2-hour sessions on the mat mostly focusing on high-paced drilling (the last would end with 10 minutes of conditioning including partner lifts, recoveries from bad positions etc. and 10 minutes of stretching), and on Saturday a longer run up and down a mountain for up to an hour straight followed by 10 hill sprints of about 50 m each and finally 3x3 min of match simulation with a rubber band. As strange as that sounded at first, it started making sense: in this school of thought, all the energy is directed towards the mat sessions, and all aspects including strength an strength endurance are trained there. Need more strength? Go lift a heavyweight, and do 20 lengths of rope climbing at the end of the session. Need more speed? Go wrestle a lightweight. Need more strength endurance? Shark tank for you. Need more interval training? Shot clock every minute. On the other hand, the morning run is both active recovery and preparation for the Saturday session (if you don’t run regularly, you’ll be sore for a week from it). If you do it right, it should not let you leave tired, while on the other hand, the same cannot be said about interval training on an an assault bike or rower. Also, it seems to me all the power houses worldwide - whether it's wrestling, the South Korean and Japanese Judo teams, MMA guys from Siberia to the US... - are still running, quite typically in a similar fashion - a shorter, easier session (typically in the morning), and longer, harder runs (uphill or stairs if possible, usually including some form of sprints) on the weekend. I am inclined to think they stuck to it not simply because they are stubborn and incapable of change, but because it worked ok for them.

"jogging for cardio" is worse than useless for wrestling its actually DETRIMENTAL. Jogging lowers your testosterone and converts your fast fibers to slow!!! When I took over my wrestling team I immediately banned running and subsequently broke all the schools historical records in short order because now we wrestled for cardio! Wrestling for cardio creates sport-specific cardio which is 10 times more efficient than steady-state jogging If you simply have to put on your jogging shoes at least do Hill Sprints instead of trotting down the road like an idiot because if you focus on steady state cardio you'll have plenty of energy to go for a jog after you get pinned by an athlete who focused on wrestling

@@tukibray YEAH!! Hill Sprints are probably the very best thing you can do on two feet especially if yourr doing off-road trail running... the only thing better would be mountain biking or swimming with short fins... all these are fantastic cardiovascular exercises for Combat Sports! the only thing better would be actually participating in that combat sport! the boys over at shedog got so mad when I said this they actually banned me from their website and erased my THREAD 😂 They've been pushing a lot of BS advice over there

With Striking it's recommended that you don't hard (full contact) spar too often to not injure yourself. Does this carry over to wrestling?

[@ohhkazhy3353]

No you can go 100% because there are rarely cuts, no strikes, you most likely won’t hurt each other but you can train more for technique defending only at 60%

[@theyoungfool.1895]

There are ways to increase endurance for striking similar to how it’s told in this video I’d recommend (if you can) get multiple people to spar at a time for each round so each round your fighting someone fresh and ready to go who can push you without pushing themselves, do regular sparring but add 20 minutes of bag work before, after or in the middle of the round (tell your coach and sparring partner your doing this so they both can accommodate it properly), spar a little bit harder at the end of each round (depending on the sparring partner) and you can also try active recovery like doing core work, squats, push ups or even a bit of light wrestling (AGAIN depending on your sparring partner). Now of course unless you’re a UFC fighter you’re coach and sparring partners aren’t going to do this a lot unless you’ve got a match but if you can set this type of stuff on your own it SHOULD do something similar to what this video is recommending but either way good day,good luck and wish you the best training.

This is a generalization (with some exceptions), but for the most part cardiac output method will always be king for endurance. I agree that if you’re doing this every day it will become detrimental to your strength and power, but 1-3 times per week done the right way will not interfere. I also agree that running is a poor choice for a lot of non running sports. The rower, assault bike, Prehab work, specific drilling are all great options. However I disagree with the timing you prescribed. Cardiac output should be 30-90 min (yes, even 90 min sessions will not interfere with strength and power of done correctly). I completely disagree with the number one bucket being interval training. Science is not on your side and this has been very misconstrued for about the last 15 years. 1. Anaerobic capacity and power are largely genetic, you will see little improvement in these categories with interval training (doesn’t mean there isn’t a place for them, but certainly not number one bucket) 2. You are already training these systems in your sport. Why double up in the weight room? You’d be better off having additional sessions on the mats. 3. Your aerobic system is responsible for getting rid of metabolic byproducts from anaerobic work and replenishing the system. If you want to improve anaerobic performance the answer is still cardiac output (and getting stronger in the weight room). There are exceptions, but this isn’t the appropriate place to write an entire novel on the subject. I can however promise you that science is not on your side even in the least bit. This line of thinking came from a few studies about 10-15 years ago that were taken completely out of context and somehow became mainstream. Interval training is not the answer in most scenarios

Okay buddy. You said a whole lot of nothing there.
