So how many steps should my<br />
athletes run?<br />
Well, generally speaking, it should<br />
be the goal <strong>of</strong> every athlete to run<br />
3 steps between the hurdles.<br />
However, for athletes <strong>of</strong> lesser<br />
ability, they <strong>of</strong>ten will run faster<br />
times using a combination <strong>of</strong> 3, 4,<br />
or 5 steps.<br />
How can I get them to run 3 steps?<br />
<strong>Speed</strong> and power development<br />
work is the key. The athlete needs<br />
to be able to attain a minimum<br />
stride length <strong>of</strong> 6’6” to 6’7” on the<br />
longest stride between the<br />
hurdles.
