PACEFIELDHybrid training & race guide

Race skillSled

Sled push

Introduce a race-style strength station using effort and movement quality instead of a fixed load.

Equipment: Training sled · suitable turf
Used in the plan: Capacity build · Hybrid integration
Race context: HYROX · DEKA

Athlete pushing a weighted training sled with straight arms and a steady body angle.

Before you start

Set up the movement.

01
Use a sled lane with suitable turf and enough stopping room.
02
Load by effort because surface friction changes the difficulty.
03
Check that plates and lane edges cannot shift into the travel path.

One useful cue

Keep the first rep repeatable.

Brace the trunk, keep a steady body angle and use short steps that maintain traction.

Training use

Purpose before prescription.

IN YOUR PLAN

Use short, controlled pushes at a repeatable effort; do not infer race load from body weight.

WITHOUT THE EQUIPMENT

Use a steep incline walk to keep the forward-drive intent without a sled.
