Believe it or not, distance running really won't do shit for your endurance in a fight.
Working the heavy bag too much reinforced some really bad habits for me, though, like dropping my hands and sacrificing mobility for power.

I know
exactly what you mean.
When I first started working on the bag, I just tried to hit it as hard as I could for as long as I could. Paid no attention to leverage or anything else. Grunted a lot. Just tried to look cool beatin' the shit out of the bag for the spandex resplendent Gym Bunnies.
After a couple of weeks of me flailing away at the bag like an idiot, a fellow member who had boxed GG kind of took me under his wing re: Heavy Bag work.
I have a healthy respect for boxers. Those guys get into great shape. (At least they better)
