Thank you for watching How to Run the 300m Hurdles in Track and Field
I wish there was a hurdling program in my school 😢 I always wanted to try hurdling
I wish, too!
Start one or try
I have 300m hurdle today, this is my first time, because I usually do 100m, so I’m a little worried
Same mine is on wednesday
good luck❤@@aveseq
Same but tomorrow for me and I’m so terrified bc i could barely do the 200m dash last year
@@xxmoonlightxx3568 my coach took me out of it because I was really struggling with it the last few meets 😭
Had my first outdoor long hurdle race of the season 3 weeks ago. It was a mixed heat with me being the only Master athlete ( age 62 ), 2 U16 boys and a couple of HS girls. Usually I end up racing on my own as there are very few at my age that do this event in Canada, so it was fun to have a little competition, even though I was 10 seconds behind the last girl. I was using this as a training race, didn't go full out, concentrating on my form and accelerating into the hurdles, but the adrenaline of actually having other runners helped push me to my 3rd best time in this event!
That’s great!
When should i start to kick it in on the 300, i run a 39.45 tryna get it down to 37 for state
you don't kick, you go out strong and just keep the speed as well as you can
@xosilentnova2217 is right! Go out fast and hang on until the finish line is fastest. The fact that you’ve run so fast by saving some energy is impressive! You’d be faster, though if you go for it!
Being 5'9 makes it hard to clear the hurdles sometimes, especially towards the last 100m. Is it better to try and clear the hurdles and jump a bit more, or just attack the hurdle and likely hit the hurdle with my lead leg? I've been trying to approach the hurdle with my feet landing directly under me and I always end up hitting the hurdle that way.
As a 5' 6" 400m hurdler, I'd say that you should focus on clearing it cleanly and not risking a fall during the race.
I’m assuming that this will not be read, but the strategy I have been using is; stride the first 100, lean in and sprint the curve, and then go faster in the homestretch. What can I do to improve this, my guess is to sprint the start, maintain, sprint
You assumed wrong! 😂 The best strategy for longer sprint races is to use your speed while you have it. That means early in the race. Trying to save it for the end doesn’t really work because you’re going to be fatigued no matter what you do. All the best 300/400 m runners and hurdlers go out pretty fast at the beginning, approximately 90%. Try to maintain that speed comfortably for the next 100 to 200 m and then gut it out to the finish line.
I run a 42 but I want to get down to 39-37 how can I improve my time, I usally slow down by the last 2-3 hurdles
That’s a very involved answer. I’d be happy to help. 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! Coach
Im really slow but ive only competed 100m hurdles 2 times and got about 22 seconds and my first 300 hurdles race is tomorrow and im terrified bc everyone else on my team runs 51-55 seconds my lead leg is my right and i literally cant go over with my left. How many steps should i take between each hurdle
That’s a tough question to answer because there’s so many variables like speed, height, specific hurdle in the race, etc. If you’re a high school girl with decent speed, you usually take 24 steps to the first hurdle and then 17 to 19 steps for the first half of the race and then usually add two more for the last Three or four hurdles. I hope that helps.
