Grown-ups
Coach Peabody, counting

Run as fast as you can, for a short way.

Sprint

Go somewhere · ages 6 to 14 · Counted in metres · 🤫 Quiet

How to do it

  1. Drive your arms hard: they set the speed of your legs.
  2. Knees up high in front.
  3. Slow down gently at the end, don't stop dead.
  • Nothing at all
  • Somewhere big enough to really run.
  • Take water, find the shade, and tell a grown-up where you are.

Watch out for this

Pump your arms. Fast arms make fast legs.
Arms hanging by your sides.

Make it fit you

The right version is the hardest one you can still do properly. That is not a kindness, it is how this works.

Easier

Harder

  • Sprint, walk back, and go again.
