I've run hurdles (junior high through college) at a fairly high level of competition..... and then coached for a few years Six step workouts is the bomb for HS athletes doing the "distance" hurdles. The rest of this short video is very good as well. Well done.

That six step drill is awesome!!

Thanks!

everything said was absolutely correct

[@nanalisa27]

About how many feet apart are the hurdles for a 6 step drill?

[@acemethodcoaching9102]

It’ll be different for everyone, and you’ll want to start close and gradually spread it out over time. But to give you an idea, the girl in the video, her hurdles were spaced out 48 feet apart. Surprisingly, the boy was only spaced out 49 to 50 feet.

how do i learn to alternate my lead leg?

[@acemethodcoaching9102]

It's a combination of things. Do drills with both legs, place your 100m hurdles closer than usual and go over them 3-stepping with only your non-dominant leg, the 6 step drill, etc.

Is the hurdle plan for short and long hurdle races?

[@acemethodcoaching9102]

The hurdle training plan is for both sprint and distance hurdles.

Add in a windy day and all the strategy goes out the window. I practice in all conditions so I have learned to adjust my strides depending on whether there is a head or tail wind.

[@acemethodcoaching9102]

You’re absolutely right! That’s why I teach teach my athletes to be able to go over with either leg.
