Agility ladder

Timed ladder patterns at maximum frequency. Unlike the pattern work, here you chase the clock: you already know the moves, now you push them to the limit.

Key points

  • Six runs, one pattern per run.
  • Time each pass and record the best one.
  • Stop if your steps get sloppy: past that point, you’re training disorder.
  • One minute between runs.

Common mistakes

  • Sacrificing clean footwork for the clock.
  • Going back to back without rest, which makes your step frequency drop from the third run on.
