Technical advice for a young hurdler?

It was very difficult to see too much in the race but it looked like you won which does not hurt. Speed of any sort will allow a great advantage to buffer technical skill until the hurdles get too high anyway.
How old are you?
It’s tough training on your own however Jccc. But perhaps your reasons for running are different and perhaps the idea of training alone means more to you than to compromise other values you appear to have. I do want to point out that regardless of what you think I feel you are putting yourself at an enormous disadvantage in terms of the goals you have set. If you were just wanting to have a good time than fine. As soon as you add performance into the equation not having timely feedback deadens the progress significantly. Never forget that practice makes permanent so if your feed back turn around is 24 hours and another’s is 30 seconds after their run how much time are you loosing or put another way how much time are you working less efficiently and effectively as well?
Once you achieve a certain amount than the task of training alone might be reasonable depending on the type of work you need to perform. Ideally quality of all training is essential. Hard to mess up tempo on the bike and in the pool for example but there is always a way to grab something from those training sessions and it’s not just about putting in the time for tempo to feed the speed. In general one of the biggest issues in training is judgement coming from the person performing the work. Judgement is honed over time from experience and quality of work over years.
Think about some of this.
I do not want to sound negative but I do want you to understand what you are up against in relation to the goals you have shared with us here.

Having said all of this life is all about choices , challenges and lessons we learn along the journey. I am basing my thoughts and opinions on things I have experienced , seen and been a part of at the highest level. You have a goal and perhaps this goal will be achieved by you without compromise of your other wants.
If we are able to help you that will be great thing.
What you are trying to do is exciting and admirable and I don’t mean to be discouraging or a nay sayer either. It’s not all about winning ( someone told me that and it’s really kinda cool that you have these ideas about what and how you want things.
