Hurdle races are usually run over 110m for men and 100m for women; with longer races being 400m. In this Videojug guide Julia Hubbard, athlete and professional personal trainer, talks you through the correct way to jump hurdles.

Top Tips

As you get to the first hurdle, lean into it and extend your first leg.

Plant your leg quickly, and pull your trail leg through.

In a hurdles race you would ideally be looking to get three strides between hurdles, getting over the hurdles as economically as possible so you maintain your speed.

In longer races your strides might decrease as you get tired, so you may need to take four or five steps between the hurdles;because of this you need to make sure you can lead and trail with both legs.
