why is such a trail leg method swamped by this sideways knee thing? surely the sideways knee thing does no more than introduce a whole new plane to negotiate? any sideways movement must surely have a deviating effect? surely the ideal is to be constantly as forward moving as possible even if it does mean lifting off a little higher with the trail leg? this exercise is so very simple but surely essential if forward momentum is to be retained as much as possible, feet and hands forward and parallel, hips and shoulders as parrallel to the hurdle as possible? especially eg the womens 400m hurdles where the hurdle is only 2'6"? why not simply step over them with feet parallel, elbows pumping back, shoulders back and down?
this has got to be the most simple and effective hurdles drill of all time
