Death run
The death run simply involves running shuttles with maximum effort. Each cone is placed 5m apart as shown to the right.
Starting on the 0m line run to the 5m line and back, then out to the 10m line and back, then out to the 15m line and back and so on. If you reach the 25m line and back during the time period for each effort, then start back at the beginning. You should run these shuttles for 30s followed by 30s rest. Complete this 6 times then rest for the amount of time detailed before completing the next set
Variations
Give yourself more time / less time to run and rest.
