How do I train for 400m hurdles?

An equivalent workout for 400 hurdlers would be to run repeat 300s over the first eight hurdles, with similar recovery periods. Then do the math x 4 to project race times. So, if the athlete averages 42.0 for his 300s, the projected race time would be in the range of 56.0.

How many steps is 110 hurdles?

3 steps
Technique. The sprint hurdles are a very rhythmic race because both men and women take 3 steps (meaning 4 foot strikes) between each hurdle, no matter whether running 110/100 metres outdoors, or the shorter distances indoors (55 or 60 metres).

How do you count steps in a hurdle?

Count your steps. Steps in between will be different for every person. One thing to note, however, is that if the hurdles are evenly spaced, you should have the same amount of steps in between every hurdle. You should not take three huge steps and then eight little steps… Instead maybe take 6 regular stride steps.

How do I get over my fear of hurdles?

Many hurdlers try to block out such thoughts, but blocking the thought doesn’t solve the problem; the thought is still there. The only way to overcome fear of hitting hurdles and fear of falling is by acknowledging that it can happen.

Do hurdlers need to be tall?

Let’s be honest, hurdling is easier if you’re taller, and it is possible to be too small. I would say that in the men’s high hurdles, 5-9 is about as small as you can be and still have a chance to be an elite hurdler. Anything smaller than that, and there’s just too much vertical involved in getting over each barrier.
