Maxfly 2 or Adidas SP3 for hurdlers?

I own a pair of Maxfly Uptempos but the inside air sack has gone flat and is leading me to injury. I run both 110 and 300/400 hurdles and need a good spike that is responsive and comfortable. Please help!!

A disgrace

I personally think it's a disgrace that there's no set of hurdles on the actual finish line so people would have to tackle one final one in the most important moment and the photograph of the finish line would be so cool, it would massively boost the popularity of the sport which would also increase money from sponsors.

Work out plan

Does anyone have a workout plan/suggestion for hurdling? I struggle with starting and getting enough force through the hurdle to 3 step and I needed to start lifting but I don’t know what machines/lifts I need to do.

Help on hurdle form

I run the 300mh and I'm looking to get faster and was wondering any workouts I could do in the off-season to get faster and maybe even some lifts that would be beneficial for hurdling? My current PR is a 43.37 and I was wondering what I could do to better fix my form and just my race strategy as a whole in the 300. I'm the person with the black singlet on and red lettering in lane 7.

Had great seats at the Trials two weeks ago and was blown away at Sydney's world record... and she was 2 seconds faster than the competition! Is anyone else excited to see her run in Paris?!

Decathlete training hurdles

I’m training for the decathlon right now and hurdles is probably the event I have the least experience with of all ten, which means I have a lot of work to do to earn good points here. Coming off an injury I can’t 3 step the normal distance between hurdles yet, so the ones in the video are a little closer. I have a little experience running 400mh, but what could I do over the summer to fix my form and make me able to 3 step?

Off Season Workout?

300 meter and 110 meter hurdler here. I was wondering what would be the optimal workout plan for the off season (summer, fall, and a bit of winter) to improve my times for the actual season. I'm not looking for a plan too vigorous as an injury would not be great, but my main goal is to stay in shape and have a good start to my season. The thing I struggled with most in the 110h was consistently taking three steps between each hurdle (most of the time I take four, and the races where I tried to lengthen my stride ended up slower than my four step). In the 300h, I hope to build up more stamina as the last 100 meters cause me to slow down quite substantially. I currently do not own a gym membership but l am open to getting one if that is the best course of action. Thanks!

Question

So I am a freshman and I run a 21.5 110m, my 100m pr is 14.6. If I get my 100m time down then do you think that my 110m time will improve.

Hurdle advice

Hi! I'm a senior in hs and I've been a hurdler on the track team since 9th grade. We don't have a hurdle coach so I've had to pretty much teach myself how to hurdle. I'm 5'3 (female) and run the 100 m in 12.6 s but I run the 100 m hurdles in 17.5 s. and I can 3 step about 6 hurdles but then I can't. I feel like if I had proper help I could be a good hurdler. Is it too late to get help from a private coach since I'm a senior or would it give me a real chance at getting better (possibly playing in college)? Thank you!

problem 3 stepping

I'm a 17 year old male hurdler. I run the 110 mh in 15,4. But I tend to reach in between the hurdles. I'm currently around 169 cm, or 5 foot 6 1/2 inches tall. The hurdles are 91 cm tall and 9,14 m apart (senior spacing). I am fine 8 stepping to the first hurdle but in between the hurdles I lose a lot of speed. How should I train to prevent this from happening?

Trail leg & lead leg

Hi everyone,

I’m thinking about switching to 400m hurdles. I have so many questions. I’ll just start with one.

How do you all determine what your trail leg and lead leg will be?

Advice?

I’m the guy in second place in the fully white outfit without any decoration. I ran a 15.93 in this race and I’m looking to get to low 15s or possibly even high 14s this season or next season.

Does anyone have any advice on how I can speed up in the 110mh?

Trail Leg Flexibility Stretches

I am a right leg lead leg and so my left leg is my trail leg. My trail leg is often not in that parallel position compared to the floor and it is at a slight uphill line compared to the floor when I go over hurdles. Does anybody have any trail leg flexibility stretches for me?

Help with Hurdles Form

Can anyone give me some tips on my sons hurdling? His biggest issue is that it is very difficult to 3 step the hurdles without taking long slow strides. To make the second hurdle is very difficult. He has ran hurdles only once before 16.03. I have finals in about a week, any tips would be appreciated

First time Hurdling

So I’m trying to become a decathlete and have put myself in the 110 hurdles in my meet Thursday with only one prior practice. I plan on doing one or two more practices this week. I run about a 12.2 100 and was wondering with average/below average technique what time I can expect. Also any tips would be much appreciated. Thanks.
