Most hurdle coaches only train the lead leg. Two-time world champion Dexter McCloud trains both, and it comes down to proprioception: your body knowing where it is in space.
In the air, an untrained hurdler flails to stay balanced. Training both legs builds symmetry and control, even if the athlete never switches lead legs in a race.

One of the greatest things in this life is waking up and being obsessively and passionately relentless about the pursuit of a purposeful goal.
You get to be violent in your pursuit and crush anything that stands in your way as opposition.
All of us will die. Only some of us will die on "E". I choose to be the latter.
This time of year always has my brain feeling ADHD.

This is a pure labor of love. So much to do, but it's also so much fun even in the midst of the chaos.
Coach Kyle Marc Jones retweeted
Agreed, and the ones who keep pushing through hurdle three usually have the cleanest rhythm by five. Rushed first steps show up late.
Coach Kyle Marc Jones retweeted
Acceleration. Great hurdlers continue accelerating through the early hurdles while establishing rhythm.
By the fourth hurdle, I always knew whether I was in good position or not.

First the Brits said their heat was worst than in America. They quickly found out how untrue that was.

**Don't forget we're live talking about Elite Hurdling with @GaHurdleMech on Tuesday (10/27) at 8pm.**
The Track Tribe will be hosting a fully interactive, hands-on masterclass on biomechanics (scientific study of motion and function in living organisms) on Nov 10, 2026.
We're going to show you how you can use your current footage to assess things like:
Ground Contact Time for Sprinters
Body Posture for runners
Shin Angles for accelerations
MaxV measurement
Plyos, lifting, and more...
If you're interested in DATA that can improve your athletes, make sure you register at thetracktribe.com/live so you can get all the calendar details.
Coaches from ALL sports are welcome.
You do NOT want to miss this one!
