PART 2 IS UP !!

Hey Mackenzie! I'm a high school coach at a TINY little high school teaching new new hurdlers how to run hurdles. There are a lot of hurdle videos out there, but so far your video has been the most useful, and I've shared it with my atheletes to introduce them to running hurdles. I'd LOVE you to do more! Your breakdown is very practical and teaches them far better than I can.

This video was amazing! I am a sixth grader just starting track and my coaches very strongly recommend that I do hurdles!

Teaching my HS daughter how to hurdle (based on my college experience, similar to you) and REALLY loved your video and advice. VERY helpful!

Very informative video thanks Mackenzie I will share this with my daughter she is a junior in HS. And 2nd year of doing hurdles she won States her first year in 300 hurdles with bad technique this year we are focusing on proper technique training

Hi, you are inspiring!Thank you, saluting, from a special, home, trying to become a sleek functional, multi, cool sport.

Thanks Makensie for making the video. Some very good advice given also.

Thank you!! Ik I’m late, but could we get a pt 2?😁 thanks

I have to learn how to hurdle in 1 day they are putting me in it for an invitational!!! Ahhh I’m a high jumper and a distance runner not a hurdler

I learned soooo much!!!! Please make more.

I just started hurtling and we never had foam hurdles but I'm doing pretty good

Hey I am a middle school hurdler and this was really helpful so I can get better so thank you ❤❤❤

When I first started hurdling I put hurdles in lanes 2 and 4 then stretched a length of crepe paper between and taped it to the hurdles. No fear of hurting myself. I like the foam hurdles if you can afford them. When you break the crepe paper just tape back together. Easy. Clean up after practice and throw away.

Great educational info

I am in high school and my coach recommended I try hurdles, Ive been practicing but an issue I have is if the first hurdle is set to boys 110m height, my body just stops me before I go over it. I know I can because Ive tried setting the first hurdle at the boys 400 height and then the rest at the 110 height and I can make it over those just fine, but its always the first one. Do you have any tips for something like that?

Go Mercy!!

awesome thanks!

Great video! I found the background music too loud and distracting, but that could be because I'm old. :)... Looking forward to part 2. Any chance of providing and demonstrating a preseason, in season and late season set of workouts for novice hurdlers. Maybe a series from beginning to racing? Thanks so much!

Help I have to do this for sports day and I’m terrified 😭

Mackenzie...Hi! Got a couple of questions for you. I'm a 74 year old male, who took up hurdling a few years ago, and have competed once, in a Masters meet. 100m, at a 30" height. Didn't care about speed or time, just wanted to see if I could do 10 hurdles in rhythm without falling. I did it, but oh so slow (lol). I was sixty-something then, now at my older age they put me in an 80m distance, 8 hurdles at 30". The problem is, the hurdles are 7m between each, instead of 8.5. Which means I've gone from 6 steps between to 4. Having a hard time...I could do three but my legs run out of steam after that, trying to maintain that 4-step rhythm. Is this simply an issue of leg strength? What drills can I do to build strength/explosiveness? I like my right leg as lead leg throughout the distance. Should I work on a 5-step rhythm, meaning I'll be alternating the lead leg? Aiming for a meet in June, so an ASAP answer would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have a weird question, but I am in middle school and when I am working on lets say keeping my arms in I tend to get the other things wrong like staying low even though I just got it down I am so confused as to why I am doing this? I also alternate my legs in-between and then I will get like 4 hurdles away from the finish line and stutter step really badly I have no idea as to why I am doing it? Any advice, tips, or drills that could help with any of that?

I have a track meet Tuesday and ive made it over the hurdle a lot of times, it’s my lack of confidence that stops me I’m doing 300m hurdles and i’m very scared for it so many thoughts stop me then I forget my movement and just give up, I don’t wanna do that anymore I wanna have confidence i’m not gonna win my first track meet and thats okay I just keep doing the drills and stuff ( my coach does those drills with us, we didnt have foam or nothing we have to start with the hurdle in the grass , last year I fell on a broken hurdle and ive been scared ever since ) Do you have any advice on like confidence and how I can grow it?

Life is in essence a track meet and if you cannot clear the hurdle you are not core forward and will not win in the others will pass you by in life what were the track field meet

For guys its a little higher do you have any tips for striking your foot down quicker

Would training with a weighted shoe on the hurding leg be useful?

hey im a sort of beginner hurdler but im very short around 5’1 so I have to take more steps and I feel like I more of jump over the hurdles then glide and I don’t really know what do do with my hands do you have advice for how to stay low and swing arms properly?

Can you pls do a part 2 soon

Oh you have a gorgeous Sun tan in the picture caught my attention,,!

Where can we get foam hurdles

i’ve never done track or hurtles before. does anyone have tips for a middle schooler?

Do drill

Too much at once in a beginners video.

I've fallen over a hurdle and it's been impossible for me to get over them again. I'm really paranoid to do them again because I have a meet this week with a hurdles again.
