Coaching 800m- Sub 1:50 High School Training
I was fortunate enough to have 2 extremely talented middle-distance athletes run sub 1:50 for 800m while coaching at Old Bridge High School from 2016 to 2021. The paths they took to run sub 1:50 were different, one trained as a 1500/3k athlete while the other trained as a 400/800 athlete. I share the different training approaches they took, workouts, and other factors that I believe lead them to be so successful and ultimately running 1:49 in High School, with the biggest reason being...their talent. Hope you enjoy the video!

8x1200 Workout
Переглядів 5164 роки тому
8x1200 workout I am just getting back into training after taking some downtime. First time on a real track since the indoor season was a light 8x1200 with 90 seconds rest. With more free time on my hands, I hope to add to the channel and upload a variety of videos and not just running specific. Enjoy.

With a lack of access to track and field facilities, I decided to make my own PVC hurdles. There are many ways to make your own PVC hurdles but here is how I went about making mine with the material and tools I had available, enjoy! Materials- (per 1 hurdle) PVC- SDR 21- 3/4" and 1" (160" of 3/4" and 49" of 1") Elbows- 1" to 3/4" Side outlet elbow- 3/4"x 3/4"x 3/4" Bolt- 1/4" x 1.5" Magnet Tool...

    Good stuff for places with little to no wind, and for kids and girls. I do not recommend these for more advanced hurdlers, particularly guys because their hurdles are (much) higher. 1> It can make them less committed over actual, heavy hurdles 2> when they do hit one, they're not programmed to deal with the disturbance 3> ever seen races with real hurdles flying and bouncing? a plastic hurdle would turn in the air so fast or bounce back so quickly that it may trip you

    Cost was about $30 each with stuff purchased from Lowes today (April 27, 2024). The side elbows were expensive at nearly $10 per hurdle. End result is very good though, thanks!

    Hello Travis. May I know on how to make an adjustable hurdles for under 12 years kid. How long should I cut the main pole and the adjustable pole? I thought I want to start from 46cm and will be adjustable all the way to 76.2cm for under 12. Hope you can help me with the measurement. Thanks brother

    Love the ajustsible! We are using this same method for Linebacker and running back chutes... I would like to suggest Harbor Freight PVC cutter www.harborfreight.com/search?q=pipe%20cutter and PTO pins www.harborfreight.com/20-piece-pto-pin-assortment-67534.html.

    Travis, thanks for the video, much appreciated, my 14 year old son is a keen hurdler and wanted hurdles for training but we were balking at cost. We followed your instructions and after a couple of hours and $200 we now have 10 hurdles. Sturdy, light, rust free and inexpensive, perfect. We used 1” for the top bar as couldn’t find 1” to 3/4 elbows. I also brought a PCV cutter for $14, best idea ever, can’t believe I’ve been using a hack saw to cut PVC pipe for the last 20 years 😩

    Thanks! My son has really gotten into track and field. New territory for us. Usually we do lacrosse and soccer ... I am loving this idea instead of buying a set. Will be taking your tips and measurements with me to lowes tomorrow .

    THANK YOU!! I'm a hurdle coach and I have been hauling those horribly heavy folding steel hurdles for years, and this is the first PVC hurdle tutorial that I think I can pull off that is adjustable, has the crossbar in the back, and gave a good idea for weighting the front. Looks like I could break them down and carry them in a backpack which is necessary since I get to the track on a bike. Question - you said you used caulking and fishing weights to give the front leg some weight. Do you mean that you put in fishing weights (or you mentioned we could use sand) and then put the caulking behind it to hold it in place? I'm not very handy and have never used caulk so I wanted to check before I go out and get started. Thank you!
