Exercise: Acceleration Ladder

  Print This Page  Send to a Friend

• 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.
