Hey guys Ive got a few questions.

I recently started training strictly muay thai again. I had a couple mma fights and the training wasnt honestly half as hard.

I feel pretty rusty sparring/hitting pads and my cardio in general. My body doesnt seem to enjoy the shots like it used too. I have heard that once you have reached really really good shape it is always easier to get back to it? I have been going to class every day and running twice a day. Just trying to get everything together for fighters class. All in all im still in decent shape. did 5 rounds hard last night after sparring 4 rounds or so. I felt like puking after but I made it through. I figure I can probably shake all the rust and get my cardio back within 3 weeks or so does this seem ok?

any tips on doing this? I have no problem self motivating myself and I'm ready to put the work in.

thanks,

I don't see why anyone who "had it" couldn't come back and fight to their best in 10 weeks with the right training and physical and mental preparation. If you're still young and have roughly the same weight to begin with, then 6 weeks to fight fitness isn't an unreasonable estimate.

As you mentioned, the conditioning part will take time and is independent of your cardio.

i am happily surprised how my body responded to sparring again after nothing consistent for years.. so my guess is everyone is different. i believe how i eat has made a big dif...
