An explainer on how to do hurdle walkover drills and why they maybe useful to not just only Hurdlers but all track and field athletes for improving hip mobility.

The knee must be picked up in line with the vertical centre line of the body.
There should be no tendency for the knee to be pulled across the body or for the lower leg to go out and round. The foot of the lead leg reaches its highest point some 15 to 30 centimetres (6 to 8 inches) in front of the hurdle rail.
As the heel of the lead leg passes the barrier, it must be pulled down and back to land under the body. There is no necessity for the lead leg to be straight over the top of the hurdle, in fact having a straight leg is slower and can lead to increased hang time. The leg straightens as it descends towards the ground.

The rear leg has to come round and wide with the part of the body moving away from the lean caused by the leading leg as the leg from a straight position into a tucked position comes round and wide you start to come into an upright position. You bring the leading arm around the trailing leg holding and finishing in a perfect knee drive position.
