How to Perform Shuttle Run

  1. 1
    Set two markers approximately 25 feet (7.5 meters) apart on a flat surface.
  2. 2
    Start at one marker in a ready position — feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent.
  3. 3
    Sprint to the opposite marker as fast as possible. Touch the ground or the marker with your hand.
  4. 4
    Immediately decelerate, pivot, and sprint back to the starting marker.
  5. 5
    Repeat for the desired number of rounds. Start with 6–8 shuttles with 30–60 seconds rest between sets.
