Returning to the T in squash: a guide for adult players
Braking in the back corner and accelerating back to the T before the next boast. The useful decision is whether the next gym session should support returning to the T, or protect the next match.
What this situation asks
Braking in the back corner and accelerating back to the T before the next boast. That setting asks for deceleration plus a new first step, which is a different question from a long lunge. This is a reading of the sport, not a sets-and-reps prescription.
The next-session trade-off
A reasonable option is to use the gym for a controlled stop-and-go quality, and leave ghosting patterns on the court. The trade-off is clear: more linear running can miss the brake that actually gets you back to the T.
