I get this high from working out that lasts many hours. Screw coffee, this high is like taking a powerful stimulant without negative side effects, only positive ones. Thus I’ve always admired morning people who run before work.
If I could do most of my workouts in the morning, my schedule would free up so much. I could train hard in the evenings solely in boxing or even add in some weight lifting. When not training for a fight even take on another hobby. Plus I’d get more time with my wife and son.
That burst of physical and mental energy I’d bring to work in the mornings would definitely enhance my productivity and career.
Minus my vacation, during my last two weeks of training I’ve been running in the mornings. I don’t want to jinx myself, but I hope this is the beginning of a long daily ritual that I’ll take with me to old age.
Despite being a somewhat dangerous sport, we should do a better job promoting the fact that the demands of extreme endurance and weight classes tend to give boxers a very healthy lifestyle.
