The session
Pull the sled a set distance (e.g. 4 x 12.5 m lanes), rest briefly, and repeat. Hold the same ambitious body angle and rope tension on every repeat.
In the race
The race sled pull is 50 m: you pull the sled towards you hand over hand with a rope, then walk back and go again. It is the third station.
Pacing
Keep every rep within a few seconds of the first. If the last one is much slower, start easier next time.
Where people go wrong
Body angle creeping upright on later repeats, jerky arm-only pulls, and pausing mid-lane.
Easier or harder
- Easier: lighter sled, or rest after every length.
- Harder: race weight, with no pauses between lengths.
Staying safe
Drive from the legs and keep the spine long. Lighten the sled before technique collapses.
