Place 4-inch mini hurdles at increasing distances (see below)
Sprint at top speed stepping over hurdles
Focus on proper arm drive and leg cycle motion
Perform 1 set of 5 reps twice a week
Use walk back to start as rest
Martin’s Adaptation: We use exact distances for the hurdle placement. The women have one set of distances and the men have another. Stepping over the hurdles develops the proper leg cycle motion of your running form. Focus on running all out and not worrying about the hurdles.
