-Start at one cone, run 22yds and back to the cone you started from. (there and back 3 times, or 6 sprints until you end up where you started from, this is considered 1 rep)
-Each rep (6 sprints) should be completed in under 30 seconds. (If you finish early you have extra time to rest)
-You then have 30 seconds rest and you go again.
-5 reps of this is ONE SET (30 sprints with rests)
