          Hey, I'm really into hurdles and I have a question ….

          What is the difference between the 400 meters hurdles and the 400 meter sprint? Or is there a difference?

          I'm trying to see if I can't also get into spriting but I'd need to know what the difference between the two (if any) is so that I can train better.

          There are greater requirements for speed endurance, rhythm and acceleration in the 400IH. I don't know what level you're at but if you're decent at the 400IH than I wouldn't drop the 400m from your competitive options as all great long hurdlers are also very good quarter milers.
