Race execution

Station performance focus.

Lower-body strength, horizontal force and the ability to maintain power under fatigue.

  1. 01

    Keep a low body position and drive through the floor with your legs.

  2. 02

    Use short, powerful steps to maintain constant pressure on the sled.

  3. 03

    Attack each turn quickly and get moving again without hesitation.

Common mistakes

Where time gets lost.

01

Standing too upright and losing useful horizontal force.

02

Taking long steps that make the sled stop between efforts.

03

Training only on one surface and assuming race-day friction will feel identical.

Training ideas

For your next workout.

Heavy strength

6–10 × 12.5 m heavy pushes with full, high-quality recovery.

Race-density work

4 × 12.5 m at race load after a controlled 1 km run. Repeat 3 times.

Training examples are general ideas, not an individual programme. Adjust load, volume and recovery for your experience and health.
