For Hurdlers.
(a) Warm up and practice starts the same as for running.
(b) Practice with one hurdle at first to get the stride and to overcome
any hesitancy in taking the hurdle.
(c) Go no higher than is necessary in clearing the hurdle. Both
time and strength may be saved in this way.
(d) Later practice with two or three hurdles, aiming to get a uniform
stride between the hurdles and to maintain a good balance. A
good preliminary exercise is to raise the legs alternately, bringing
the knees to the level of the armpit.
(e) Once or twice a week take the full number of hurdles for time.
