anybody ever make their own sled?

[Nickdude]

running sled that is.

if you have can you give me the directions? I cant really weld so nothing with welding involved would work.

or are there any other alternatives? I tried running with a 25 pound plate in a backpack and that didnt work so well.

anyways, all help is aprreciated

thanks

thats exactly what i did...i actually put a hole through it for the rope, then a board to put various weights in it. the rope was about an inch thick and i just had it laying around, but it was rough to pull without thinking completly about the pain of the rubbing rope, so i put some sheets around it and made it nice and padded...all in all, it looked like a complete piece of garbage, but it worked well

it depends where you are going to run....some sleds will eat up grass, or suck on a road....

I want one that eats up grass, but either is optional since I have lots of both
