Week 29: 5/11

5/11 MU. Weather was good. Holly and Joe did high hurdle training. Pre-race warm up followed by reps over 4-6-8. 4 was at race height and spacing. Other reps were either down, in or both. Did a few "bonus" reps after those to work on a few things. Holly worked on knee drive and acceleration, particularly into H1 as well as working the lead leg all the way down (and back) off the hurdles. Split times -- although down and in somewhat -- were about a tenth faster per hurdle than typical. Joe worked also worked on getting the lead leg down -- a little earlier and ripping it down and back. He also worked to maintain more forward lean off the hurdle to minimize braking and maximize push into getaway step.
