What are the best track spikes for hurdles?

Im going to be running the 100 and 400 in hurdles|||well there are the 110HH (High Hurdles) and the 300IH (Intermediate Hurdles) and only in college and above are there 400IH.. Me being a hurdler myself i would suggest some sprinter spikes because you are mainly on your toes and at a dead sprint in both events.. you also have to be able to dig deep to clear the hurdles which also would be best found in sprinter spikes..


if u want to look at some of my times follow this link

Good luck in your season this year!!

Which race is more difficult, the 400m dash or 300m hurdles?

I'm running my first 300m hurdles race tomorrow. I'm origionally a 400m and 200m runner but my coach thinks the 300h will be a good event for me. I have no idea what it feels like to run the 300 hurdles so i need a comparison between it and the 400m dash.|||hurdles, you have to worry about jumping over things then running

What are the height and width of girls high school hurdles?

I am making track hurdles and i need to know the height and width of girls high school hurdles for the 100 meter and the 300 meter|||the height for the 100 hurdles is 33 inches, for the 300 it is 30 inches.


The weight of the hurdle does not matter, what does is the pull over weight, that is how much weight it takes to push the hurdle over when you hit it, and that is 7 1/2 pounds.


the weight on the legs varies with the height of the hurdles which is why there is an adjustment on the weight when you raise and lower the hurdle, some of the new ones are automatic, but the older or cheaper ones have to be changed by hand.


Since you are practicing I would not worry about the exact push over weight, and you can make practice hurdles from pvc pipe, so you can take them down for transport to and from the track.

What kind of Track shoes are best for hurdles and long jump?

i need track shoes but beore i get them i neeed to know what kind are the best for me for track and what kinda shoes work best)like spikes,cleets...etc)


so tell me and I will take you'r suggestions!!|||you need to get sprinters spikes. for those events, you will want to get spikes especially made for hurdling and long jump. they are lightweight shoes with spikes, but have more support and cushioning than just regular sprinting spikes.

Any phrases or quotes for overcoming difficult hurdles in life?

I need some really great quotes for overcoming hardships in life. Something that will give a person hope and strength to endure the struggles.|||Difficult times have helped me to understand better than before, how infinitely rich and beautiful life is in every way, and that so many things that one goes worrying about are of no importance whatsoever...”-- Isak Dinesen





“Things will happen in your life that you can't stop, but that's no reason to shut out the world. There's a purpose for the good and for the bad." Crazy Pete





However long the night, the dawn will break.





Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said that it'd be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.





Sometimes things will fall apart in order for other things to fall into place.





Through all the heartaches and the tears, through gloomy days and fruitless years;


I do give thanks for now i know, these were the things that helped me grow





"May God give you:


For every storm, a rainbow, For every tear, a smile, For every care, a promise, And a blessing in each trial.


For every problem life sends, A faithful friend to share, For every sigh, a sweet song, And an answer for each prayer."|||Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are.


Bernice Johnson Reagon





Life has many twists and turns in it, you have to take what you are given and use it for the best.


Unknown





What saves a man is to take a step. Then another step.

Once you choose hope, anything's possible.

Hold your head high, stick your chest out. You can make it. It gets dark sometimes, but morning comes. Keep hope alive.

Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage.

Don't think of retiring from the world until the world will be sorry that you retire. I hate a fellow whom pride or cowardice or laziness drive into a corner, and who does nothing when he is there but sit and growl. Let him come out as I do, and bark. --Samuel Johnson


Life was a damned muddle - a football game with everyone offside and the referee gotten rid of - everyone claiming the referee would have been on his side. --F. Scott Fitzgerald|||Life is a grindstone, and whether it grinds a man down or polishes him up depends on the stuff he's made of.

Hope that helps :)

Three refusals to Europe will make hurdles in going abroad? What about issuing a new passport then.?

i have three refusals, 1 foe spain tourist visa and other 2 of greece family visa. shall these refusals create problems in getting any visa of any country or shall i make a new passport . please help.|||A new passport would not help since the visa refusals are entered in the computer system of the Schengen countries. It depends on the reason of the refusal whether you will get a visa for other Schengen countries. Should it just have been missing documentation or insufficient funds you may try to forward a straightforward, complete application supported with proper documentation. Should the reason for the refusal however be based on forged documentation or untrue statements made a new application would be senseless..





Edit: [based on the contribution of my dear friend Jean-Michel]





Actually visa denials are not entered in the Schengen Information System (SIS). The SIS database contains the following data:


1. alerts aiming at refusing entry or stay of third country i.e. non-EU member nationals,


2. alerts on persons wanted for arrest and surrender or extradition on grounds of the European arrest warrant,


3. alerts on disappeared persons,


4. alerts on persons wanted for judicial procedure (persons summoned to appear before the judicial authorities in connection with criminal proceedings, persons who are to be served with a criminal judgment, witnesses)


5. alerts issued for the purposes of discreet surveillance or of specific checks concerning persons and objects,


6. alerts on objects sought for the purposes of seizure or use as evidence in criminal proceedings.


Alerts as stated in para 1. always will be based on prior break of law in a Schengen country, like illegal overstay or will be based on results of intelligence operations.





A second automated system, the Visa Information System (VIS) is in progress to be established. It will contain all visa denial data as well as the fingerprints of visa applicants. At present manual consulting between Schengen countries is required prior to a visa issue, hence all denial data are available at the Ministries of Foreign Affairs of the individual Schengen countries. The problem is that in France, Germany, Italy, or Spain grounds for refusal did not have to be communicated. This will be subject to change effective the 5th of April 2010 when the EU visa code gets into effect.

I'm afraid the asker is a victim of the system and the unbalanced distribution of resources on earth.|||Having read this and your other two questions and the excellent replies from my good friends “GP, Bla Bla %26amp; Carajillo” I seem to be finding more questions than answers, to that end I am inclined to agree with their thoughts especially as you have been refused by two countries. Firstly, even though you do not provide us with your nationality it seems very strange that you say your husband has been in Greece for the past 10 years. Really makes me wonder if he is legally entitled to be there - sorry but I have to ask that question as it is usual for the spouse to be granted access to visit.





Then there is the question, why were you refused a “tourist” visa for Spain!! Again I am asking myself the question – “WHY”? To which I can only think of three scenarios:


1.An attempt has been made to enter the “Schenegen Area” without the correct paperwork and been refused entry. In which case the question to be asked is: Have you a refused entry stamp in your passport?


2.You or someone close to you is or has been on the “persona non-grata” list on the database.


3.You have committed an offence in your own country that would preclude entry into the Schenegen Area.





The only course of action I feel is open to you, “GP” please correct me if I err, is to apply to the “Schenegen State” of your choice and ask to see this information about you held on the Schenegen Information System database – having it corrected should there be an error. Note: The error can only be corrected by the country entering the incorrect information





EDIT: To my good friend GP, thank you for the corrections and the explanations..|||If you have been refused three visas, then the reason has to be a serious one. If you can't resolve that reason then you will always have a problem.|||I'd be wondering why you were refused, me.
