HURDLES

When hurdling: -

• You should try to clear the hurdles without slowing down

• Use smooth, fast running between the hurdles

• Lead leg (the first leg over the hurdle) -

• Lift your knee straight up towards the hurdle; stretch your leg straight out

over the hurdle; land with your foot in a straight line on the other side of

the hurdle

• Trail leg (follows the lead leg) -

• Lift your leg up to the side, your heel close to your bottom, with your toes

pulled up; pull your knee through to your chest; land with your foot in a

straight line on the other side of the hurdle
