Letter from the Editor
Letter from the Editor Hello Readers! For the March 2015 issue of The Hurdle Magazine, we have another fine set of articles for your reading pleasure. This month’s issue has a heavy lean toward the 400 hurdles, as I usually lean in the direction of the 110/100 hurdles. We have three articles this month that...
Embrace The Burn: Dealing With Lactic Acid Buildup in the 400 Hurdles
Embrace The Burn: Dealing With Lactic Acid Buildup in the 400 Hurdles By Chris Repecki The bell rang for the final lap of the 5,000-meter race at the Armory in New York City. I had led the pack for twenty-four grueling laps, but with 200 meters to go I began to fade. My competitor veered...

Teaching 300/400m Hurdlers How to Alternate Lead Legs For those of you looking for advice on how to teach your long hurdlers how to alternate lead legs, this article will address that issue in detail. Because very few hurdlers can lead with the same leg in rhythm for an entire race, alternating is pretty much...
Left Leg Lead in the 400 Hurdles
Left Leg Lead in the 400 Hurdles The question that has recently arisen in my mind is the following: Should all 400 hurdlers lead with their left leg? For hurdlers who compete in both hurdling events and lead with the right leg in the 110/100m hurdles, it would be a bit much to ask to...
March Instructional Video
