Wanna Hurdle

[AznJumpr23]

I wanna hurdle next year (my soph year)... i hurdled in middle school but everything is completly different, i didnt hurdle this year at all but wanted to... our schools best hurdler jus graduated this year so now our best hurdler is a my friend bice who was the best freshmen hurdler this year (16s)....i wanna hurdle next year and eitha beat him or very close to him....what are things i should do to get good at the hurdles (drills, ne thing) ?

[Speed-driven]

practice sprinting like 6x150s all out..then pratice ur 3 step for the hurdles..do other aerobic excercies..go lift weights for upper body support..and then time trial yourself every few weeks for improvement

[400M]

Yeah, the 3 step thing is CRUCIAL. My frosh year I was running high 17's on 36" with 5 steps... then got the 3 step down, and went to mid 16's on 39" soph year. Now to get the arms and trail leg down. =P

are you serious???? 6x150 for a short hurdler???

two words: hurdle drills

[Speed-driven]

yeah my friend who was a junior this past season did 6x 150 and got way fast in his hurdles. of course he did hurdle workouts..but the sprinting was the thing that got him to a 11.4..when he ran 11.7..in the 100m..so the 110h was helped a lot

[AznJumpr23]

oh my bad.....i forgot to say that im training to do the 110 high hurdles(39 inches), sry

Hold up hold up. You're from Londonderry aren't you? I'm a freshman from Nashua North and i DESTROYED Bice, he wasn't the best freshman hurdler, I was.

No I Was The Best Freshman Hurdler

God Get It Right!!!!!!

ian mcaffee rite? u beat him in the decathalon maybe cuz he messed up his hamstring n sprained both of his wrists playin ball, but during the season he was the best freshmen hurdler in class Ls and for sum reason they put ur FALSE START time from the freshmen/sophmore meet up there in the battlenotes..... wat was ur best time during the season?

Edit: u only beat him in the decathalon.......so when did u destory him?

Yes they put my false start time up, but I actually ran in class Ls, i came in 9th after a bad race and 16.4

In the decathlon i did TERRIBLE and fell after the 9th hurdle, 17.7ish, which was complete crap.

I'm better than him, and i'll prove it once again next year.

[AznJumpr23]

i no he didnt run in class Ls maybe its becuase our coach wanted him to concentrate on pole vault becuase hes was the the best freshmen in that also.....he'll beat u next year so dont wry about it

[JumpinSkiing]

His wrists must have hurt in the decathlon pole vaulting also.

I've seen him vault, he barely bends, congrats to him getting over 11' that way though.

[JumpinSkiing]

Hold on hold on, I love how you're talking so much smack about your friend, but what have YOU done huh?

Exactly.


And I checked all of lancertiming for a time for Bice, and he ran like 17.54ish at Merrimack Invitational, thats all I could find though.

ive jumped 18'4 not spectacular but decent and that kills ur decathalon long jump by almost 2 feets and ive ran the 100 in 12.4 which also beats u

and maybe u should try harder cuz bice has ran the hurdles in 16.2

[AznJumpr23]

and by the way u didnt fall at teh decathalon i was there watchin freddie so quit makin up excuses by sayin u fell and bice sprained both of his wrists playin ball y do u think he threw lefty shot put and jav.

[JumpinSkiing]

Ok look

1. I had a fractured elbow at the decathlon
2. I DID fall, or stumble, after the 9th hurdle, i'm not making excuses, that stumble/fall whatever, was my fault, and if you were there watching Freddie you would have seen me scream in anger after the race because of it.
3. My 100m was 12.5
4. Long jump i jumped off the wrong foot, and my steps were screwed, but whatever, good 18'4" though.
5. Lets see Bice run 16.2 in a meet..



Ok enough of this, i'm done, we'll just have to wait until next year.

Good luck to you and your summer training, i'll see you in indoor.

[AznJumpr23]

then u basically went thru the same thing bice went thru even tho bices injuries were sum wat worse
strained hamstring, 2 sprained wrist > fractured elbow

but its all good
good luck to ur summer training too

[JumpinSkiing]

Haha thanks.

Lets both put up some good numbers in indoor.


I actually said to Bice at the Freshman/Sophomore meet, "Let's show these sophomores up, they have nothing on us."

Or something like that.

[HurdlinDuck110]

wow.... you both just finished your freshman year? you two sound more like middle schoolers the way you're bickering. grow up. shut up. run.

[AznJumpr23]

um.....yea we pretty much stopped already, so wat are u talkin about?

[JumpinSkiing]

Ben Mallard, you ran a 16.64 at MoC.


........


We've been done, we're completely fine now and talked on AIM quite a bit.

[HurdlinDuck110]

i ran that 16.64 on a knee that i could hardly walk on the day before. in fact, as i was walking over to the check in tent at MoC my knee gave out on me, almost causing me to fall. i was planning on going 15.8x until i hurt my knee.

[400M]

Hmm.. for you freshman in the 16's.. was this 36" or 39" hurdle height?

[JumpinSkiing]

39 inches.

After thinking about my season, i know EXACTLY what i'm doing wrong and it's really making me excited for indoor/outdoor.

[one_more_hurdler]

Yeah, the 3 step thing is CRUCIAL. My frosh year I was running high 17's on 36" with 5 steps... then got the 3 step down, and went to mid 16's on 39" soph year. Now to get the arms and trail leg down. =P

thats pretty good...17.x and 5 steping.

[AznJumpr23]

yea so like i said before i wanna hurdle, ive been workin on hurdles a decent amount this summer and i think i got flexibility all set. I do a trail leg drill where u run beside the hurdle and concentrate on the trail leg, i think i got that set but when it comes to going over i jus suck or cant (when i do my lead leg/trail leg sucks and when i cant i think im jus scared cuz of sum past experiences) yea so since i cant really go over its hard for me to work on 3 stepping, ne1 have ne ideas how i can fix my problem?

[JumpinSkiing]

Hey, i actually went to North today and did some hurdles, what i really wanted to work on was trail leg, and i found my solution to mine.


Lean.


The more i leaned, the better my trail leg whipped around, so that might be something you might want to try.

[AznJumpr23]

yea i already do lean but the trail leg is not my problem, its going over the hurdle is my problem and lead leg

[400M]

thats pretty good...17.x and 5 steping.

17.81 is nothing to be proud of really, but I had the form down 5 stepping. Added the speed and the form got kinda bad. :rolleyes:
