How to Use Mini Hurdles
My favourite mini hurdle sprinting drill simply involves athletes running over a series of the mini hurdles at at a sub-maximal sprinting pace.

The athletes use a 4-8 step run-in before reaching the first hurdle.

The distance between the hurdles is a matter of trial and error for an athlete, but as an example, for a female athlete in her later teenage years, I am currently using 12 mini hurdles with the first two gaps at 1.45 metres, the next two gaps at 1.52 metres, the next three gaps at 1.59 metres and the remaining gaps at 1.66 metres.
