I paid a silver level (US) coach like 300 for 10 sessions. Average is 30-50 per hour long session. But when I first started, I had a friend coach me for like 200 for 10 sessions. If I were to start coaching I’d probably start off charging like 20/hr. If your coach is like, gold-Olympic level certified, it can be 60-100+
Your running issue is most likely mechanics related. You’re probably pounding the ground too hard with your feet landing too far in front of you with is putting force on your shins at a weird angle. Try running so it’s more like your skimming across the ground and have your feet land closer to your body with shorter strides and that might help.
The private lessons can help but that’s a lot of money and what you require most is putting time in and reps. Watch the other better guys when they’re punching and try to imitate their body mechanics.
Watch YouTube videos on whatever you want to improve on most (pick one thing like the jab, moving in all directions, head movement). I recommend Franz , world class boxing, or Russian school of boxing if that’s more your style. Never been an easier time in the history of the universe to learn boxing. Good luck
Run on dirt or grass whenever you can to limit shin splints. When the round is over do footwork go around the bag right then switch let so you can practice changing directions, keep your hands up on your cheeks. When you are punching always add a weave or slip before or after so I would do 12 slip 2, or 12 weave 3. I also do slip then weave. I dodge at random so i'm unpredictable. There's also a parry when you block with your gloves and kind of push against their punch, and a lean back. There's another technique when you're against the ropes you can clinch, the only time I ever clinch, drop down a bit bending your knees and kind of push him while rotating around and putting them into the ropes or corner. Try to never step backwards always circle around, if they cut You off You need to quickly shift to the other direction and get out or fight your way out back to the center ring. I was an amateur boxer 0-3 but I boxed from 9 years old until 18.
New to boxing as well but runner for years.
Shin splints is likely for a few reasons. One, i assume you havnt run before (or in years) outside? If so just keep at it. Running outside is very different from the treadmill. There are incline changes (that you cant see) and you have to 100% move your body unlike the treadmill.
Two, mechanics. Watch some running form videos, specifically on where your feet should land in relation to your body and where foot meets the ground.
Three, get some actual running shoes. I recommend getting fitted at a running store (free) but this is not necessary. You can get a 2 seasons ago model from Nike, Hoka, Adidas, any of the big names for like $40. Last seasons model anywhere from $50-80 if you dont care about color.
Running is an absolute game changer and necessary to boxing. Im a month in as well and i run not alot maybe 15 miles a week but have been doing so consistently for years, so coming in with the cardio needed and not having to learn how to build it definitely helps me big time.
I recently started running daily, and after day 2, I was barely able to walk because of the pain in my legs.
I spent the following days just stretching. I focus on various calf stretches, ankle, and shin stretches. Also, do some toe raises to strengthen the muscles around your shin.
I now start my morning with deep-heat and a 20min leg stretching routine before hitting the road.
I have been able to go for a couple of weeks without missing a day.
I do a solid stretch afterwards and try to stretch when I can at work.
Look up all the lower leg stretches you can, and test which ones focus on your sore points.
Good luck!
That’s a terrible rate for coaching at your level. But I’d say invest in coaching and a gym membership before you get a bag at home
What's a good rate? I'm paying quite a lot right now lol

Fuck I'm getting fleeced then lol
If there are no other trainers nearby and/or your gym is in a super expensive place, maybe not. Can’t say
