Well I once used that much sled work with hockey players. But that was at the beginning of my career,working with freak athletes who had a humongous work capacity and nothing to do but train all summer.

In retrospect that was too much volume. A “normal” individual would not benefit from that. I would use 1-2 sled variations per workout, tops.
