I am a beginning decathlete. And I have just started working with hurdles for the first time, seriously. I did use them to jump over when I practiced for long jump it seemed to work ok. Now just running through them dosen't seem so hard, until you put it to College level height then it gets tuff. I just need help with the foot work and the timeing. The bad news is I only have access to one hurdle, ya…my old high school coach said if I find two more I can do come descent workouts with them.
