The session
Push the sled a set distance (e.g. 4 x 12.5 m lanes), rest briefly, and repeat. Keep the same low drive position and step cadence on every lane.
In the race
The race sled push is 50 m, in four lengths of 12.5 m. It is the second 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
Rising up as fatigue builds, letting the sled grind to a halt, and sprinting lane one then crawling lane four.
Easier or harder
- Easier: take weight off the sled, or push two lengths and rest.
- Harder: use race weight and add a 200 m run between each pair of lengths.
Staying safe
Maintain the low position with a braced trunk. Reduce load rather than pushing with a rounded back.
