Cones (recommended)

A row of cones (or other markers: bottles, bags) set in a line, five yards apart. You attack them at full speed and, at each one, you let your hips drop without breaking up the run: the plant leg digs in next to the cone and you take off again in your stride. With a partner, he throws to you as you come out of the last drop: the catch comes in the relaunch. Eight passes.

Key points

  • Attack the cone, don’t go around it.
  • Your hips drop at every cone, to the same height.
  • The relaunch comes from the plant leg.

Common mistakes

  • Slowing down between two cones.
  • Letting the height creep back up as the cones go by.
