Glad to hear it was helpful!

[@malikwhite_]

Coach ace always coming in clutch y’all what Coach Ace & Eric said is all true I am only 5’9 and I run a 13.6 in high school y’all got this trust the process ❤

[@unassociatedpress10]

I noticed it was easier for me to clear the hurdle with a fonsbury flop. It does slow me down significantly though.

[@acemethodcoaching9102]

😂😂😂

[@kaylaaax7762]

I’m a 5’3 hurdler 😭

[@helenacarmelo138]

I’m 5’0 🙁

[@HaydenFilen]

@@helenacarmelo138how old are you? if you’re under like 15 i’m sure you’ve got plenty more to grow, otherwise keep pushing and prove everyone wrong who thinks short kings can’t hurdle💪💪💪

I am 5.2 and I have a competition coming up the day after tomorrow. I will practice with my friends tomorrow, but I am very nervous for the competition, because There will be people much taller then me and much faster too (faster in terms of sprinting), there is also gonna be 10 schools I think, and a lot of people, but I really want to place, since my grandma was a hurdler and she will be very proud, and I also love hurdles. Thank you, for the video!) I will reply to my comment after the run!) Thank you again!

[@acemethodcoaching9102]

Thanks for the comment. I hope your competition went well.

[@shrihari1392]

Thanks coach

[@EddiesCorneer]

As a 5’4 hurdler this video helped a lot ❤

[@acemethodcoaching9102]

I’m glad to hear that!

[@annelise6236]

i am always the shortest in my races at 4’11 but i always clear the 100m hurdles at 1-3 inches

[@grl_with_no_nam3]

I’m 5 foot 1 and my 100h is a 17.05 and I’m a freshman, I’ve been trying to get my time down by three stepping but I just can’t commit to 3 steps. the first time I ever did was at the Indoor state championship on accident and I haven’t been able to do it since then

[@acemethodcoaching9102]

There’s no shame in for stepping.

[@Waytoonutty]

I am 5’7”, my PR for the 110 is 16.28 4 stepping. I can now 3 step and am much overall faster, what time should I be looking at for next season?

[@interbread5306]

aye good job dude im 5'4 and do the 110 my best is 18:30 height advantage but this track season goal is 17 something seconds

[@acemethodcoaching9102]

I’d say it’s reasonable to expect to break 16 seconds.

[@Dre4skii]

How many steps back when running the hurdle

[@POTATOFEET_GAMING]

What is the ideal height for a hurdler? I am 5 ft 10 inches, do you think that is enough?

[@acemethodcoaching9102]

5‘10“ is very good for a high school hurdler going over 39 inch turtles. It would be a bit on the smallest side for 42 inches. But, very doable. There’s some shorter hurdlers who do well with 42 inch hurdles.

[@peoplenews3296]

I am 6’1 and when I’m amongst the field everyone is tall 😭 would you consider me a shorter hurdler?

[@acemethodcoaching9102]

In college, maybe. You might want to consider the distance adjustments.

[@declanleclair4637]

I think your competition is just tall 😂 most of the best hurdlers out there are about 6'-6'2"

[@peoplenews3296]

@@declanleclair4637 that’s what I gotta be telling myself daily the best hurdles of all time are 6’-6’3 😭

[@PariharAmanThakur]

Sir i am from India my height is 6.2 my timeing is 15.22 second on hurdle 110 meter

[@HaydenFilen]

damn bro that’s respectable, keep grinding and doing more than your opponents and I assure you you’ll see great things!

[@andrespadilla6986]

I'm a newbie to hurdles because I'm doing the decathlon. It is my least scored event and I'm 5'7. I have some hip mobility issues and I really am in need of some guidance

[@Jbreezywdatool]
