Hi Robert,

For articles on Sprinting, search under the category menu on the left hand side of this page. Also, if you are a Peak Performance subscriber, there is a great article with video on designing a speed-specific training circuit with an example of a sprinting-specific circuit. If you are not yet a subscriber, you can take out a cheap trial subscription for just $9.99 for two months, which will allow you to log in to our subscribers' area and view this article and accompanying video.

Kind regards,

Laura

An excellent resource is 'Running' by Bosch and Klomp. It is an excellent book with reference to the mechanical and bioenergetics of running. There is also an awesome dvd that accompanies the book which gives great demos on varying drills (although not hurdle specific).

For hurdle based work look at http://www.gillathletics.com/GillItemView.aspx?FSID=R1846
