Love it. I like how you’ve been doing more mixed content with throwing in 300m hurdle videos. Great things to go over, love the step counting in the video. 👍
Being able to hurdle with both legs is one of the most powerful tools you'll have running the 400mH. (Professionals actually switch legs from the beginning, not due to fatigue, for example sydney mclaughlin, allison dos santos). Now, for hurdlers like me who can't hurdle with both legs efficiently, using the third option mentioned in this video is the best. I take 15 steps between hurdles. I used to mantain natural stride lenght and switch legs once fatigue forced me to take one additional step, so I lost a lot of speed every hurdle I cleared with my non-dominant leg. I ran my fastest time the day I changed the strategy and intentionally shorten my strides to make to the next hurdle in two additional steps and clearing every single hurdle with my dominant leg. How do you know when to intentionally decrease stride lenght? Well, what worked for me was to do it as soon as I noticed that I had to stretch out to make it to the hurdle in the same number of steps as the previous hurdle, which meant thay fatigue had already shorten my strides, so right after landing I ran with shorter strides to make to the next hurdle in 17 steps and clear it with my dominant leg instead of 16 steps and switching legs
Thank you for posting right when I was starting to stress about my meet 😅 I feel more confident now that I know how to fix my stuttering. I do have a question though, do these drills apply to 100 hurdles too, coach?
This video applies specifically to the 300 m and 400 m hurdles. A few weeks ago, I put out a video called five reasons why you can’t three step. You’ll want to watch that for the hundred meter hurdles.
Absolutely,! I’ll coach anyone, it’s just that I direct my focus towards high school athletes because that’s where the bulk of the hurdlers are. I have two options for you: 1. Virtual Coaching Session: This gives you my full attention helping you with whatever you need to improve your hurdling. I have email or Live Zoom sessions available. Typical 24-hour turn-around. Satisfaction guaranteed! Learn more here. acemethodcoaching.com/hurdle-coaching-services/ 2. Free Video review: This is a very quick version of the coaching session, but no guarantee of timeliness (could be days or weeks) or that your video will get selected. Simply send me your video. If it is selected, I’ll email you the link when it’s done. to send me your video, go to my website: acemethodcoaching.com/home-2/hurdling-home/ there you will see how to send it. I look forward to helping you!

Lots of practice to gain confidence and I find for me the key is to accelerate into the hurdle because I know where I need to be at my takeoff point.

I’ll check it out, thanks coach!
Coach,
Do you/ would you consider coaching non high school athletes?
An adult who wants to get back into hurdling.
