Lesson 3:
Developing Adaptability and Racing Strategies
In this instructional segment, Tony Veney introduces a training method called "turn and go," aimed at enhancing athletes' ability to pivot and sprint efficiently over hurdles. Veney emphasizes the importance of teaching athletes to maintain proper steering mechanisms, particularly as fatigue sets in during races. He discusses how improper technique or hesitation at certain hurdles can cost athletes crucial time and even lead to lost championships. Veney then delves into the concept of long and short hurdle setups, advocating for varied distances between hurdles to simulate race conditions and force athletes to adapt under pressure. By incorporating odd and even distances, as well as uphill training with PVC hurdles, Veney aims to develop athletes' resilience and ability to adjust their racing strategies based on their energy systems and competition scenarios. Overall, the segment underscores the importance of training athletes to handle uncertainty and fatigue while maintaining proper technique and racing rhythm in hurdle events.
