Standards
- 50 m in total: 4 lengths of 12.5 m in your assigned lane.
- The whole sled has to cross the line before you change direction.
- Each missing length costs a 3-minute penalty.
Pacing tips
- Arms locked, body low, short quick steps. Momentum is everything.
- Avoid stopping mid-lane. Getting the sled moving again costs more than a slow, steady push.
- Train on carpet or turf if you can; a smooth gym floor makes it feel lighter than race day.
