Why Do I Gas Out in a Fight When I'm Fit?
Manage episode 495156895 series 2299138
Ever felt supremely fit but wondered, “Why do I gas out in a fight?”
I recently had a coaching call with a fighter who experienced exactly this. Despite being in the best shape of his life, he found himself exhausted after just three rounds.
It wasn’t his fitness level – it was his fight strategy and work-rest ratios.
Many fighters make three common mistakes:
- Work too long without adequate rest
- Rest too long and lose momentum
- Or (most commonly) have no strategic approach to their output at all
