Suicides

These are called suicides. This is a pretty common drill but I haven't seen it posted on here yet. This is a good endurance/running drill. Basically you set up 2 points along a mat in a straight line. Each one spaced evenly apart. You sprint to the first one then sprint back. Then you sprint to the second one and sprint back. Then you sprint to the end of the mat or w/e you are running on and sprint to the beginning and thats one suicide. To make it more challenging you can add more points and space them farther apart. You can also do the opposite: shorten the distances and take out points. When I run classes I usually specify a specific thing to do at each point. For example when you get to point 1 do 10 push-up, point 2 do 10 sit ups, and when you get to the end do 20 punches. You can always mix it up for more challenging and interesting workouts.

• Part one

Make a starting point where you will start running from and place 2 objects evenly spaced from each other in a straight line. And have an end point(this can just be the end of the mat) as shown in the diagram I made. You will have 4 points in total which includes the start,point 1, point 2, and the end(Sorry about the quality I don't have any pix of the drill to put up I tried to make something quick in photoshop).
• Part 2

Now that it is set up you can start the drill. Run from the starting point to point one. Now run back to the starting point. Now run from the starting point to point 2. Now run back to the starting point. Finally run to the ending point and back to the starting point. That's one suicide. To make it harder you can always add more points or spread the points farther apart. You can also take out points and make them close together to make it easier.
