Lead Arm Mechanics

Connds, is absolutely correct. You should work on that first. You're gliding over the hurdles (we used to call it "winging it") here's a good video to watch - [video Just improving on the form will drastically improve your time because you'll spend much less time in the air over the hurdles. Good luck.

OK, So, on the first two hurdles, do you see how your left arm was kind of winging/swimming out as you were clearing the hurdle? Well, when you were at like hurdle 4 and 5, it looked a lot cleaner/tighter. You don't want it to swing out like it was over the first two-three hurdles. Check out this video - [video

Absolutely, I remember early in my hurdle career getting the arms/torso under control was a big focus. You can do it! Honestly the big mental points - try to keep the hips and the shoulders squared forward as much as possible while you’re running your race. Your legs and arms might have to do all sorts of weird motions, but if you can keep square hips, square shoulders, and keep your knees pumping…well that’s a good start! Find the style that works best for you. This guy has some interesting talking points on lead arms styles (and insightful hurdle videos in general): link to this video Best of luck to you!
