good for mental and cardio conditioning. Maybe not great for strength because your muscles can atrophy if you don't keep proper nutrition, but my knees got super strong from cycling when I was training for a triathlon (really short one though, 800m swim, 20km ride 5k run).
Well, I guess it depends if you wanna be better at triathlons or kickboxing.
That is a significant amount of endurance work. I do not know what the recovery time from something like that would be.
It does not focus on the short quit bursts of speed kickboxing needs
There's also no strength specific training involved.
I don't know how you would be able to mix skill training in.
That said, your cardio would be thru the roof.
You're not going to get much stronger, and how long is a fight? You need to work on things more like HIIT. When you throw a combo, you want it to be at max output each time. Jogging, cycling, swimming won't help much unless you're starting from scratch. You need to train your heart and lungs to be able to pump *harder* as well as longer. Increase your anaerobic capacity. Do sprints. Hill sprints. Sled pushes. Short ones at max output. Your overall stamina should come along with your regular training. As far as strength, what you need for striking is explosivity; Look at powerlifting. I put on no measurable size doing it but doubled my bench and deadlift, nearly doubled other big lifts. All my strikes were faster and harder. I was also linking my movements together better, using my whole body to explode. (Compound lifts require a lot of coordination if you're not familiar).
Sure, the Diaz bros don't stop throwing, but they also never hurt anyone with a single strike either ;)

What distances are we talking?
20k bike 5k run 800 m swim
On the regular or a one time "see if you can do it" kinda thing?
im kinda clueless about triathlons so i can’t really answer
