Letter from the Editor, June 2016
Letter from the Editor June 2016 Welcome readers, to the June 2016 issue of The Hurdle Magazine, which promises to be another good one. Got some more Keni Harrison in this issue, more teaching, and some other thought-provoking stuff for you to contemplate. “12.24, and Beyond!” takes an inside look at Kendra Harrison’s American record...
12.24, and Beyond!

In the article, entitled “How Draymond Green and Kevin Love Wage War – On Their Weight,” MacMullan asserts that even though professional basketball players are assumed to be among the most physically fit people...
Drill Progression Workout
Drill Progression Workout Sometimes, drills can serve as the basis for an entire workout. I often like to emphasize drills as the main course of the hurdler’s workout meal. It’s a way to combine all three elements essential to hurdling success: technique, rhythm, and speed/aggression. The drill progression workout is designed to gradually increase the...
