This dude is freakin awesome needs his own clinic
Thank you. Appreciate that.
i'm a highschooler, i just started hurding with 10 years of gymnastics background thank you sm for this it really helped.
My pleasure
thanks so much for this video! i'm a freshman hurdler and i'm always looking to improve!! this really helps!
How has it worked for you?
keep grinding
@@coachwelly a
well now that you are graduated any chance you have tips for the next generation i’m starting hurdling as a freshman specifically 300 m hurdles
@@coachwelly Hope great!
Best hurdle video i have seen! this explains the components very well, making the drills easier to focus on form and purpose. thank you
It is my pleasure. Glad you got some good out of it!
I am a complete beginner. I'm competing in the youth nationals in a few weeks, in the 60m hurdles, because I just randomly felt like trying something new. This video is excellent!
Buizel442 how did it go?
@@Zoooooooooooo the world may never know
@@redreaper7556 I think he died
Wow...what a video...I could have used this instruction and your coaching abilities 40 years ago when I was a high school hurdler...Thank you and best wishes...
My pleasure. Thank you
I’m 32 and have never done hurdles before...We just moved recently and the high school has an open track that I get to use while my kids are practicing softball and baseball. I attempted to do one of the low hurdles and I kept getting scared right before it mainly because I didn’t know the mechanics of doing a hurdle and didn’t want to hurt myself. I’m definitely going to work on these drills every time I go to the track now to build up to it. Thank you so much!
Keep the hurdles as low as the possibly can go and work them. You will start to feel you hios become stronger after a while, and it will become easier to. Routing for you ✊🏿
One Hurdle Trail Leg - 6:45
Walking Trail Leg - 7:48
Walking Lead Leg - 8:16
Skipping Trail Leg - 8:45
Skipping Lead Leg - 8:51
Hope it Helped.
Micheal - Thank you! This worked great, as I used it for my first day of hurdle practice.
My pleasure. Heres to a Great Season
my pleasure sir. glad I could help.
Soo soo well explained!
I been hurdling for over 12 years and I picked up on a few little details such as the arm motion and the lead knee always high even if the emphasis is the trail. Thank you!
My pleasure!
i ran hurdles in highs school and now i'm helping coach them i wanted to run in college this year but health is keeping me from doing so, this is helping me get the drills for the students, and an idea of what i need to watch for thank you so much
My pleasure. Get them as you get better!
I love the drills, thanks a bunch !!
My pleasure.
complete beginner last track season, made it to the state meet as one of the top 10 in my league but fell in the race to make it to finals. looking forward to trying these drills once i get back into it :)
Yes sir. Foundation is the 🗝️
I'm a university student who has to write up a lesson plan for hurdling as an assignment and this video was the beesssttt! Thank you very much for this well explained and executed video of hurdling! :)
Glad it was helpful!
this is a wonderful video! thank you!
My pleasure. Thank you!
Great job coach thank you !
Thank you coach. And it is my pleasure
excellent video, clear and succinct!
Thank you sir.
I’m coaching middle school hurdlers right now and I’ve never ran track or know how to correctly instruct my kids so this video is amazing! I am fortunate enough to have other middle school coaches give me tips and the high school coach helps me a lot but I’m planning on sitting them all down tomorrow and watching this video! Thank you. Also, any other videos or tips or tricks you have I’m open to instruction!
That is why it is here to help everyone who needs it! After YOU become comfortable here, I have an intermediate video attached in this same playlist called intermediate hurdle drills, where you can teach your kids to 3 step.
Micheal Wellington omg that will be awesome I have one right now that we are perfecting or as much as we can her jumping either leg so it’s easier for her in high school to 3 step! Thank you for all your wonderful tips!
@@shannongray5505 yes get her comfortable with both, but as far as 3 stepping you want to find her dominant and non dominant trail and leg, so that you can get her accustomed early to the feel.
@Carol Palacios of course you can. I am actually creating a class called Developing Sprint Hurdlers from beginner to Elite, which should be completed by the end of February. Be on the lookout for that!
Good job. Thank you
My pleasure
What a concise and perfectly explained video! I am a 65-year-old 400/800 runner who is looking to add some elasticity and athleticism into my program and this gives me lots to work with; thank you Micheal!
My pleasure. My hope is when I'm your age, I'm still getting it in as well.
@@coachwelly It has been a long winding journey. At 22 I ended my marathon career with two trashed knees. Went on to some national masters titles and a coaching career (including some good hurdlers/steeplers) and now just enjoying being fit and uninjured. Thanks to 6 months of kneesovertoesguy strengthening of my joint systems, I am feeling the urge to jump over sticks again :)
@@coachwelly I don't know how old you are, but you are obviously in elite condition and clearly have the technique, the mindset and the passion to do whatever you desire, long term. Do you still compete?
@@terraflow__bryanburdo4547 I don't still compete, but I still train.
Exactly what I was looking for, thank you!!!
My pleasure. Glad I can help.
Quick question...With the rotations/wall drive/rain dance & mobility, how many repetitions do you recommend if I add this to warm-up? Thanks for your help!
For the rotations, wall drive, rain dance no more than 2-3 x 10 reps each leg. For the mobility drills I typically have my kids go through the singles, doubles, and march a minimum of 5x
Micheal Wellington perfect thanks again!!!
Lizziect10 again, this is my pleasure. anytime.
Great video! Very informative
Toni Toussaiint thank you. glad I can help.

Cool. Let me know how it goes.
Thanks I am a student/coach at my school and this helps so much
My pleasure! I have a series coming out in March called developing sprint hurdlers from beginner to Elite coming mid March.
perfect! thank you!
You're welcome!
Great video 😊
Thank you!
Thank you very helpful
My pleasure
Great content Coach. I’m no youngster, I have no intent on competing. I am a personal trainer who’d like to train athletes. I’ve been personally trying to run faster so studying a lot of mechanics presently. I came across your videos and I’m glad I did. I’ll be working on firstly A skip until I have mastered it then on to B skip. I’m hoping to bring it all together using myself as the student. Therefore when I have an athlete I will know how to teach them what they need to know. Thanks Again for these videos 1 love!
That's how it works. Master the technical portions, then move to the next will help.
Thank you Mr Micheal this will surely help me alot
My pleasure.
Great content coach
Thank you very much!
i thankyou for teaching me how to do herdles. i am very good thanks to you. i did not know anything that you said.
That is great. Keep getting better.
I'm an absolute beginner hurdler, I'm going to debut in 400m hurdles.
I need to get an excellent technique to run sub 52 seconds.
This is your first year, and you are trying to run 52? Its more to it than just getting good technique.
@@coachwelly yes sir! I'm aiming to run sub 52 seconds flat between this year and next.
I'm taking heed to your counseling because when you receive a good counsel the objectives are achieved.
I've never did track and this year i am trying for hurdles and our first meet is march 16 . what should i do to be prepared for this meet if im a total beginner.
JC Brunson that is a tough one, because I don't know what you have been doing to prepare. with that said,make sure you at least focus on the 4 components of hurdling and focus on running the cleanest race you possibly can.
Thank you for this video! I watched this video last year for 8th grade and I was complimented on my form :) I’m trying out as a freshman, so wish me luck!!
Good job! Go after it. Take the same principles and apply them to high school.
Micheal Wellington Thank you!!
Thanks man
My pleasure
Just needed someone to believe in me
That's all it takes.
Tf.. believe in yourself my guy
@@nikesbeast tf give people words of encouragement sometimes people need some steps in the right direction. I know I've needed encouragement from other people before you arent any different
Both legs, i like this coach.
Both legs are necessary to strength both hips.
Thanks for your video... was just asked to train few kids. If you have good points on first steps warm up training it would be so appreciated.
My pleasure. If you look at my playlist titled "track and field education," there is a hurdle warm up video and there is also a video called 4 ways to improve accelration. Those should help you out.
Is there any way I could send a video to you of my trail leg? I’m running hurdles at 15.9 but I feel like I could be way faster, my coach said I’m tucking my leg too much. Also I’m the same kid from last year who you helped inspire me to work hard at my trail leg.
Names Inocencio by the way
Go Fousey yes. Email the video to mwellington@alemany.org and I will take a look at it.
Solid

This was a great demonstration for drills and learning how to hurdle ! I've been hurdling since 7th grade and I'm currently a sophomore now. Everyone tells me I have the speed for a great hurdler but the only problem I have is getting that form down! It seems my problem is snapping my trail leg down , it just seems that I'm gliding is what they describe it as, and the other problem I have is , my arm doesn't exactly cross over my body but goes out instead, all season I've been working on it but the arms fall into place after I go over the hurdle but once I'm in motion going over the hurdle they are both out, almost like a bird lol. Do you have any tips to help with my arms ? Thank you!
If you take the race as a sprint and not "hurdles" per se that will help. You are a sprinter with obstacles in your way. If you glide over the hurdles its because you are probably jumping and allowing your arms to move when they want. You have to sprint through, and off each hurdle with your arms. When you start next season's training, and you start hurdling, focus on keeping your arms quick, and tight to your body, so that it translate over when the hurdles are correct height. Make sense?
How did u not pick up the form after that long 💀
Do you think that those drills could help me with normal sprints? I am complete bagginer and want to just run faster. Now i am doing drills from your series developing speed but i want to try sth new
KaMcIaK 1997 they will help make you a better hurdler. The speed drills will make your hurdle times faster.
I'm a 7th grader and I was put in this sport so I need to learn the basics because today I scratched my leg and fell will trying to go over it
i Devy focus on the little things that are explained in this video.
Are you like tall or the hurdle seems short, because I'm concern about the height of hurdle, you make it seems easy to go over.
I'm like 5'10 I can run, but not sure about hurdle, what you think?
The hurdles in this video are shorter. They are 30" high.
You should be fine on hurdles. I'm 5'9.5" and I have no trouble now that I've done it for 2 years. Do the drills, maybe start lower. Eventually your body will get used to hurdle heights and you'll run fine.
I’m going into my senior year and it will be my first year doing hurdles, I’ve only tried the 300m once during practice and I got a 47 second time, any recommendations?
Have any video? Can't say much based the info.
Its a good vid
Thank you!
Is the walking/skipping trail leg and lead leg drill different or the same? I am lost, they look the same movement both ways??
Walking you are walking, but with a "3 step" rhythm. Skipping, you are actually skipping.
im a beginner in hurdling and everytime i jump my body tends to move to the side and everytime i stride to prepare for the next hurdle my form changes, any tips to avoid these things? x
Eunice Cornel do you have any video that I can see?
Michael Wellington super workouts iam india chennai
Thank you sir. I hope They Are helping.
How far apart are the hurdles spaces for the walk over and skip drills?
5 feet
Hi! I started learning hurdles about 5 months ago, and I’ve only ever electronically timed my 100mH twice. My pb is 17.50s now, and in a week I have Nationals. My main problem is clearing all 10 hurdles with 3 steps, the furthest I’ve gotten is 7 hurdles. Any advice??
Its a little late right now if nationals are next week. I would need to see some film on you to see what is possible to do.
Great video. You are an amazing teacher. My 8th grader is 3rd fastest in conference. He alternates lead on each hurdle. On his landing he takes a short step causing him to take 4 steps instead of 3. Is this a trail leg problem?
It could be a few things. Just by hearing, he may be adding that extra step because, in his mind, he may think he is too far from the hurdle instead of attacking and running through it. I would need to see some video to let you know for sure.
Micheal Wellington czcams.com/video/bLSJRw_tDds/video.html
czcams.com/video/kZvSmZrtRyg/video.html He is the kid in the blue uniform and white sleeves and leggings.
After watching this video I went to check Omar McLeod and was surprised to see that his arms were going across his chest and he was the winner at the Olympic 2016.
There is always an exception to the rule. OM is also a 10 flat sprinter who has super hero power in his body. When teaching young novice, intermediate, and young elites, they must be technical in order to reach their maximum potential.
Wellington ok sir I still love your video I'm using some of the technique to teach my son hurdles. He is 6 years old I will send you a video of him this summer running at Disney
Great. Can't wait to see it.
Wellington we won the bronze medal at Disney in July the first time we enter I think some talent is there.
@@swifferstrack2024 great job!
as a long distance runner who just turned 40 with no history in track and field (so not the typical hurdle beginner athlete) with what drills would you start in your first ever track season? season will perhaps even contain some 110m hurdles in late summer.
I'm sllready doing weight training and a lot of fast stuff to transition from LDR but I'm more concerned about technique than athleticism.
This is for beginners, but I tend to give ALL hurdlers this foundation whether elite or beginning.
What height should the hurdles be for each drill. I’m trying to run the 400mh 36 inches
For drills you can keep hurdles at 33 inches. Wall drills and rain dance you can go 33, if you like
I like this videk
Good. Hope it helps you.
how can we do leg perfectly straight in hurdles
It takes work.
Do you think you could have improved Skeets sprinting technique to get him run 12.70?
Also someone like Ben Johnson the Canadian sprinter? Who had the better technique Carl Lewis or Ben or could you improve both?
Don't think that fast, but faster. If we are talking sprint mechanic, Carl Lewis was pretty close to perfect. Ben Johnson was just extremely powerful.
@@coachwelly Well thats pretty impressive given skeets was the world record holder. Another tenth or so. Thanks
Any tips to stop studder stepping before the hurdle and slowing down?
Nelson Gonzales look at the intermediate video. there is a drill called 15, 18, 21, etc. start the kid off with the 15 foot drill. once they become more technically sound and start running more, increases to 18, and carry that out until they are actually doing this at the correct distance
Nelson Gonzales also the slowing before the hurdle is because there is probably a fear of falling.
Is there an alternative to the wall drill
Yes. Rain dance only. Complete 2-3 sets of 10-15 on each leg.
I have Sports Day tomorrow and I wanted to try Hurdles out but I always get too scared to jump over the hurdles that I jump with both legs like I'm a bunny to the side.
Hopefully you have someone to teach you correctly, so that you aren't afraid to go over the hurdles.
Hello I am currently a sophomore and was wondering what a good time for 110H would be for my age?
It depends. Alot of things can be factored into that. How long you have hurdled, how well you catch on. With all that said, anything faster than 16 is pretty good.
@@coachwelly I have hurdled since 8th grade, thank you this helps me set a goal for this season
You Are welcome
Hi Micheal, I hope you see this. I have a monster of a kid who easily gets to the first hurdle in 7 steps, he is a sophomore. Almost all the coaches on youtube talk about 8 step to first hurdle. Can you comment please. Thanks very much, your video was informative. regards.
There is a lot that goes into the 7 step, but if he able to accelerate to the first hurdle and continue to accelerate, it could be good for him. If not 8 step is the best way to go. Hope that helps.
can u also make a video on breathing while running/ sprinting
Aryak Tandon with sprinting you just breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth
I will get to that one.
@@JKM006 I believe there's more to thAt like breathing through both stomach and chest and the rythym etc
i won second place and im the second world record holder and i used your tips if you want any money just ask
You are the second world record holder? Why arent you the first?
Can u try and give me a workout on how to fix my trail leg... both of my legs do the same thing like my lead leg is fine but my trail leg just goes straight over which causes me to be in the air for too long and loosing time
Do you have any video that I can see. I am not sure what it looks like your trail is doing.
Micheal Wellington yes how do I send it to u
Email me. Mwellington@alemany.org
Micheal Wellington ok
sir i am learner , while i am doing i am getting knee amd hip jointpain, could you please give me some guidence..
I would actually have to see you hurdle to be able to give you an answer. There could be all sorts of reasons.
Hi i really need help for hurdles for indoor track and do you think I can send you a video so you can see what I’m doing wrong?
Sure. Send an email to the email at the end.
Micheal Wellington i sent the video earlier today, did you receive it?
@@krislamar277 my work email is down now so I didn't get it yet. Can you to wellywell3@gmail.com
Micheal Wellington ok I sent it, did you get it yet?
@@krislamar277 I did not receive it
Wind muffle sound to make it hard to hear clearly.
It's true, but you may be able to turn on the close capy
I am a hurdler how do get my leg to stay up I'm really tall and the hurdles are only at 30in and my lead leg seems to point down and I knick it also anything to help devolp power while hurdling I get comments that say I tiptoe while running great video BTW😁😁
I will need to see some video, to give me a better idea. Thank you.
How many times we should do the drills in a day
At least 2 times a week. 2-3 sets of everything
@@coachwelly thank you sir
Make vedio on beginner sprinter
I have. Search on my page for Develop Speed for All ages.
If you trained 2-3 hours a day & already have the speed how long will it take to learn how to 3-step?
Honestly, if you have the speed, the next key is fear factor. You could literally figure the rhythm out in 1 to a few sessions. This is why cheating hurdles is so important.
@@coachwelly what is cheating hurdles is there any other way we can get in contact? Im very serious & super motivated to learn how to 3 step.
@@punch4070 email would be best. coachwellingtondevelops@gmail.com
Cheating hurdles means to make them closer and dropping the height of the hurdle.
My coach said I jump over the hurdle instead of through. What can I do to fix that?
I would have to see. Has he given you any tips on how to run through and not jump?
Micheal Wellington he says to snap down with the trail foot before kicking through the hurdle and kick through the hurtle
Then reach with the foot you kicked through the hurdle with but today he said I don’t have the mind set to kick through the hurdle right now
@@elijah9307 um. Do you have video of yourself? That entire sequence didn't make sense to me. Plus you snap you trail foot unless youve snapped your leg leg first. It's physically impossible to do it the way you mentioned.
Micheal Wellington sorry I got it mixed up.. I had a long day and I’m a very bad explainer. I’m going to try my best to explain it. So what I sometimes do is jump up and over. But my coach says that’s bad and I’ll get smoked. So they say I’m supposed to kick through and hover over instead of jumping high up and over. So I’m trying to fix that so I can get better.
Dorsalflex!!!!!!
Yes sir
My problem is that I am jumping too high and my toe faces the ground. This causes me to hit the hurdle sometimes. My first track meet is in 3 days and I have only done hurdles once. I have only ever jumped over hurdles one time so...😱😰
Make sure you have someone record your first race. Go back, study it, and have your coach work on the things that you need to, to get better.
Thx!
@@emilyoverdirth8059 My pleasure.
I love hurdles...what else ya got. I ran 13.03. And I like learning from other coaches.
13.03 is fast fast. I have an intermediate video under, track and field education.
@@coachwelly ok thanks Mr. Wellington.👍🏾
I also have an online class that can be found at, www.developingsprinthurdlers.com
@@coachwelly Id rather break bread about hurdles through email. I have some models that will shock you. That will increase the stream of clients.

Sir, this week hurdle training work
Help me to understand what you are saying.
@@coachwelly 110m.hurdle for sir week tell me the workout.
Its my first track meet and I'm nervous
Don't be. Trust your training, and go out there and give it your all. You will be proud of yourself if you do that.
wow this vid is about nike
Nike needs to sponsor me
i just learned hurdles yesterday and my teacher said i should do 300m hurdles
Give them a try.
فى ناس بتدرب من اليوت يوب هههههههه
Soo..... I’m probably gonna knock someone out because my arms a little bit wild😯
Focus on keeping them tighter to your body. It is something you have to practice, but it is a quick fix.
Just horrible. Everything a person should know you never mention. All those techniques throw the human body off keel.
Do they? How so?
@@coachwelly sorry. But this a race. It is timed. Speed is the #1 factor. 2nd is flexibility. 3rd is body balance. 4th is endurance. I see these hurdlers getting tired in races. Their tall and trying to use their height as an advantage by compromising speed. Too tall is as much a disadvantage as being to short in this race. For it is a race of speed first and last. The first thing that should be taught is speed. Today tall slow runners attempt the hurdles, only to find they must develop speed. So they sacrifice the speed and attempt to use their height as an advantage, only to learn later its not an advantage if their slow. All those movements you posted were and are useless..! Hip socket flexing is all they need. Those movements you posted are time and energy consuming. A good hurdler must also be a good sprinter..! Good luck.
@@geraldbraxton8709 I understand what you saying, but you have to understand that if you are learning to hurdle there must be a foundation established first. Thats why if you look at the title, it is for people that are learning the foundation of hurdles. Yes all hurdlers must have speed first, but if they dont have a foundation, it will be ugly. If these are useless drills to you, that i fine. There are many ways to cook collard greens. This way has worked for me or years and I have produced some pretty good hurdlers. Thanks for your input though.
@Carol Palacios yes ma'am. It is all foundation first, and everything will fall into place after that is established.
