I’m 32 and have never done hurdles before...We just moved recently and the high school has an open track that I get to use while my kids are practicing softball and baseball. I attempted to do one of the low hurdles and I kept getting scared right before it mainly because I didn’t know the mechanics of doing a hurdle and didn’t want to hurt myself. I’m definitely going to work on these drills every time I go to the track now to build up to it. Thank you so much!

Keep the hurdles as low as the possibly can go and work them. You will start to feel you hios become stronger after a while, and it will become easier to. Routing for you ✊🏿

This was a great demonstration for drills and learning how to hurdle ! I've been hurdling since 7th grade and I'm currently a sophomore now. Everyone tells me I have the speed for a great hurdler but the only problem I have is getting that form down! It seems my problem is snapping my trail leg down , it just seems that I'm gliding is what they describe it as, and the other problem I have is , my arm doesn't exactly cross over my body but goes out instead, all season I've been working on it but the arms fall into place after I go over the hurdle but once I'm in motion going over the hurdle they are both out, almost like a bird lol. Do you have any tips to help with my arms ? Thank you!

[@coachwelly]

If you take the race as a sprint and not "hurdles" per se that will help. You are a sprinter with obstacles in your way. If you glide over the hurdles its because you are probably jumping and allowing your arms to move when they want. You have to sprint through, and off each hurdle with your arms. When you start next season's training, and you start hurdling, focus on keeping your arms quick, and tight to your body, so that it translate over when the hurdles are correct height. Make sense?

Hi! I started learning hurdles about 5 months ago, and I’ve only ever electronically timed my 100mH twice. My pb is 17.50s now, and in a week I have Nationals. My main problem is clearing all 10 hurdles with 3 steps, the furthest I’ve gotten is 7 hurdles. Any advice??

Its a little late right now if nationals are next week. I would need to see some film on you to see what is possible to do.

[@fidru]

as a long distance runner who just turned 40 with no history in track and field (so not the typical hurdle beginner athlete) with what drills would you start in your first ever track season? season will perhaps even contain some 110m hurdles in late summer. I'm sllready doing weight training and a lot of fast stuff to transition from LDR but I'm more concerned about technique than athleticism.

[@coachwelly]

This is for beginners, but I tend to give ALL hurdlers this foundation whether elite or beginning.

[@distinctloafer]

Are you like tall or the hurdle seems short, because I'm concern about the height of hurdle, you make it seems easy to go over. I'm like 5'10 I can run, but not sure about hurdle, what you think?

[@coachwelly]

The hurdles in this video are shorter. They are 30" high.

[@DHGSerpentine]

You should be fine on hurdles. I'm 5'9.5" and I have no trouble now that I've done it for 2 years. Do the drills, maybe start lower. Eventually your body will get used to hurdle heights and you'll run fine.

[@dwfowler67]

Great video. You are an amazing teacher. My 8th grader is 3rd fastest in conference. He alternates lead on each hurdle. On his landing he takes a short step causing him to take 4 steps instead of 3. Is this a trail leg problem?

[@coachwelly]

It could be a few things. Just by hearing, he may be adding that extra step because, in his mind, he may think he is too far from the hurdle instead of attacking and running through it. I would need to see some video to let you know for sure.

Nelson Gonzales look at the intermediate video. there is a drill called 15, 18, 21, etc. start the kid off with the 15 foot drill. once they become more technically sound and start running more, increases to 18, and carry that out until they are actually doing this at the correct distance

@@coachwelly sorry. But this a race. It is timed. Speed is the #1 factor. 2nd is flexibility. 3rd is body balance. 4th is endurance. I see these hurdlers getting tired in races. Their tall and trying to use their height as an advantage by compromising speed. Too tall is as much a disadvantage as being to short in this race. For it is a race of speed first and last. The first thing that should be taught is speed. Today tall slow runners attempt the hurdles, only to find they must develop speed. So they sacrifice the speed and attempt to use their height as an advantage, only to learn later its not an advantage if their slow. All those movements you posted were and are useless..! Hip socket flexing is all they need. Those movements you posted are time and energy consuming. A good hurdler must also be a good sprinter..! Good luck.

@@geraldbraxton8709 I understand what you saying, but you have to understand that if you are learning to hurdle there must be a foundation established first. Thats why if you look at the title, it is for people that are learning the foundation of hurdles. Yes all hurdlers must have speed first, but if they dont have a foundation, it will be ugly. If these are useless drills to you, that i fine. There are many ways to cook collard greens. This way has worked for me or years and I have produced some pretty good hurdlers. Thanks for your input though.

@Carol Palacios yes ma'am. It is all foundation first, and everything will fall into place after that is established.
