Questions for CF regarding hurdle warm-ups.

[Pioneer]

I'm in the process of re-designing my hurdle warm-up and I've used your recommendations for the sprint w-u from the gpp disc in the past.

Though I'm still using that template, I want to make sure I've got the components sequenced properly.

Where would (if you would) incorporate any hurdle drills into the w-u would they take place in the Mach drill section, possibly between the runs of the 2-4 x 30m part of w-u two or where exactly?

Would it be advisable to do the flat sprint w-u section of the w-u, as above, and then follow that up with actual hurdle starts over h1/h2 etc.?

Thanks.

I'd put the hurdling into the WU2 portion in place of or in combination with the accels in spikes. no need for a major 'rehearsal' type WU favoured by some- what would you do if you relied on this in a place like Zurich where you just warm-up on the grass with almost no track time?

Do you incorporate any hurdle drills in the w-u?

I just do the dynamic hurdle mobility drills as part of the warm up. We do these all sitting on the floor. Having got the required ROM we move into a few accelerations and runs over maybe 4 hurdles if there is time and facilities for this. But as CF says it's important to be able to warm up no matter what the conditions or facilities so I don't necessarily make it part of habit.

Do you incorporate any hurdle drills in the w-u and where are they in the w-u?

I never used any hurdle drills- just over the middle

I think he is talking about mobility hurdle drills?

Just the trail leg exercises you see on the GPP download

You can use your imagination too, and if no hurdles exists, Pretend there are!! Still seems to do the desired outcome - loosening up hips etc.

although not good for those who are self conscious and are afraid of looking like a fool?
