Long overdue. Went to home depot and bought a big eye bolt, some nuts ,washers and some rope. stuck the eyebolt in the side of a a worn out car tire. cut the side wall out of one side with a utility knife.
Did a quick drag with 45 and 90 pounds. 90 seems a bit heavy 45 a bit light. I'm going to split the differerence and start with 70.
I'm thinking of following Iron Addict's advice and going with
Here is a quick overview of my updated sled pulling procedure. It is in response to a post on another forum, so that is why the context is in the format it is.
THIS REPLACES ALL MY PREVIOUS RECOMMENDATIONS!!
Without writing an article the basics are this:
They do HIIT with the sled. 1 minute hard and heavy. 1 minute unhooked and walking at a pace that allows them to just catch their breath, repeat.
I start them on a LOW overall time schedule. Just 3 intervals 2 x a week.
Add 1 interval every week until they get extremely beat up, then have them hold that time for 2-3 weeks until their body adapts. Once adapted, i.e. it is hard, but not killing them, we again add an interval a week.
Once they are at 20 minutes 2 x a week. We analyze what to do next.
