Hurdle Mobility the day before a meet if it's all you do (with an extended warm up)?
Good or Bad?

I plan on doing hurdle mobility work on tempo days, but on days I have meets I will lose a tempo day (in some cases) so I was thinking of sticking the workout on the pre-meet day as the actual workout. My thoughts are that it would help loosen up the hips and other muscles to avoid tightness on meet day and I believe the risk of getting injured on the workout is fairly low. It also doesn't stress the CNS in any major way, so that wouldn't be an issue either.

It might not be an issue early in the year, but when you get to points in the season where you want to run fast, I would just go with a regular pre-meet.

I use it like you suggested all the time but then again I incorporate some form of hurdle mobility 4-6x / week.

Could someone explain hurdle mobility to me. When/where to use. Thanks.

Hurdle mobility typically comes in the form of a series of exercises over hurdles. They are typically used as part of a warmup but can be used at any time during the workout depending upon the objective. I use them for various purposes such as dynamic hip flexibility, hip strength, balance, coordination, and general / core strength depending on their implementation.
