I have to agree with Shay. Dictionary.com lists training this way:

train·ing –noun
1.the education, instruction, or discipline of a person or thing that is being trained: He's in training for the Olympics.
2.the status or condition of a person who has been trained: athletes in top training. –adjective
3.of, pertaining to, or used in or for training: a training manual.
4.intended for use during an introductory, learning, or transitional period: a training cup for weaning a baby; a training bra.
Training is the act of learning where as practicing is taking what you have learned and putting it into use and trying to achieve perfection.
A Boxer who is in training does alot of things that Rhino explained Conditioning and such but the training is really when the Trainer is teaching him.

A person who has no idea of how a firearm works cannot practice a skill they have not learned. They can shoot it till the barrel melts but they have no useful skills.

I was a technical Instructor in the Navy and for 4.5 years after I got out. One of the biggest mistakes made by both some students and some instructors is they assume the students to have a certain level of knowledge already. They know it, so why shouldn't others know it as well?
Training is the instruction given to those who can then go practice the skill they have learned.
