I'm starting to train as a hurdler this sophomore year of track. I know in the 110, its three- or five-step, but what about the intermediate hurdles (300 meter)?|||It is 35 meters between the hurdles so it depends on your stride length.
It is necessary to run odd number steps so you have the same lead leg.
Most people can run 15 steps, the elite run 13 steps. If you can alternate lead legs then you can run 14 or even 16 if you are small and beginning to train.|||goto this web site
Hurdling In track and field athletics there are sprint hurdle races and long hurdle races. The standard sprint hurdle race is 110 metres for men and 100 metres for women. The standard long hurdle race is 400 metres for both men and women. Each of these races is run over ten hurdles and they are all Olympic events.
Other distances are sometimes run, particularly indoors. The sprint hurdle race indoors is usually 60 metres for both men and women, although races 55 meters or 50 metres long are sometimes run. A 60 metre indoor race is run over 5 hurdles. A shorter race may have only 4 hurdles. The long hurdle race is sometimes shortened to 300 metres or 200 metres, usually for indoor or high school races.
There are two basic hurdle heights: high hurdles and intermediate hurdles. The sprint hurdle races (60 m, 100 m and 110 m) use high hurdles, which are 42 inches (1.07 m) high (39 inches, or 0.99 m, in U.S. high school competition) for men and 33 inches (.84 m) high for women. Long hurdle races (400 m) use intermediate hurdles, which are 36 inches (.914 m) high for men and 30 inches (.762 m) high for women. Slightly lower heights (generally 3 inches lower) are sometimes used in youth or high school events.|||This is a good website that tells you all about stride lengths and steps. Hope it helps!
