text: track meet? hurdles/400m? tomorrow i have a track meet and im trying two events that i have never competed before i train with hurdlers at practice but i have never hurdled in a meet before. any tips or advice you could offer for 100m hh would be great i am also running a 400m [no hurdles, obviously] but i was wondering if the whole lap is sprinted or if i should pace myself at all.  thank you in the 400 it is a sprint.... but you have different phases of the race... your drive, hard stride, and kick... a huge mistake people make is they come out too slow and by that time the race is lost or they use too much energy i the beginning and die at the end only to get passed in the last few steps.  in the 4 people normally come out hard...hard stride the back stretch and kick at whatever distance they can ( 100, 150, 200)... the 100 hurdles just try to stay low to the hurdles and have a clean race, maintain good form and attack the hurdles... make sure your step after you jump the hurdle is used to keep momentum going so you aren't stopping and restarting and have fun! if i confused you or if you have anymore questions let me know!
