Post a video of you doing some runs over hurdles using both lead legs - set it up so we have 4 or six steps between so we can see both, or have two clips.
i dont have a video like that for the 400 hurdles i do have some for 110s. i can do thi sto in the next week or so. i do have videos of me running the full 400m H from last year and one from this year. Last season i ran 52.14. this year i have ran 51.52 back in may and then had an inj.
Post what you can
I am from Canada - who was your coach?
a guy called Darcy Cumming, he was the national sprints and hurdles coach for scottish athletics, before that he was head coach at bath university.
Too bad you lost your coach,
Self coachig isnt optimal, listening to your body, is something i have ignored in the past, something a coach could warn me for.
Whats yor 400 flat timing? seems you run about the same as i do. To bad I dont live in ireland.
PM me if you have questions.

Hurdling can make a huge difference in 400mh hurdles - attacking the hurdles liek a sprint hurdle - can take up 1 - 2 seconds off your time
