This is how far Josh Harrellson was ordered to run every time University of Kentucky assistant coach Kenny Payne blasted on his whistle at the Wildcats' basketball practice facility last October: 658 feet. From one end of the 94-foot court to the other, seven times. This is how quickly Harrellson had to cover the total distance: 35 seconds or less. Payne punched his stopwatch and gave Harrellson 30 seconds to recover between segments. Players affectionately refer to the drill as “suicides.”
