Best Answer

The way I used to run this race was:

1. Explode out of the blocks: Make like that starter guy is trying to shoot you.

2. Be the first to the hurdles, take about 7-8 steps: This may sound like a cliche, but if you get to the hurdles first, you are probably going to win.

3. "Knee up, foot down": These 4 words will change the way you run the hurdles. If you lead with your knee instead of your foot, then your foot will follow. Try it, it works. And push your knee down after you clear the hurdle to get the lead foot down as fast as possible.

4. Sprint between the hurdles: You can't win if you don't sprint.

5. 3 step the hurdles: As soon as possible, learn the 3-step. If you don't, you will most certainly come in last place.

6. Finish strong: You have about 6-8 steps until the finish line from the last hurdle. Don't cop out.

7. Tape yourself: The best way to troubleshoot what went wrong in a race is to tape yourself and watch what you are doing wrong.

If you have anything to add, feel free!

Remember that you are supposed to only take 43 steps the whole race.

7 to the first hurdle, 3 in between the 10 hurdles and 6 to finish = 43 steps

It depends upon the age/level of the competitors. College and International competitions place the hurdles at 42 inches. HS boys in the US and Masters age 30-49 compete at 39 inches. Sometimes, JH boys in the US will do them at 36 inches, but that isn't the standard.
