going back to athletics

    I've been out of athletics for about 6 years...i used to do hurdles and High Jump, little bit of sprinting, Relays and bit of long jump as well as throwing events randomly (depending on numbers - kind of a step in where I'm needed thing as i was related to the head coach)
    I used to be really good, with several All Ireland, munster and county medals and records...

    Im really keen to get back into training, and compete again as i really miss it. I want to go back to the jumping (Hurdles & High Jump) and relays and i know it won't be easy.

    Has anyone got any advice for me on where to start back with the hurdle training especially, as i know the high jump will take more time and effort to get the technique back and strides perfect.

    I will be 20 this year, so id be going into senior / U23 age group.

    Id really appreciate any advice and ideas anyone has for me.

    Thanks :)

    Where are you based? Find you local athletics clubs, and pick one which accommodates sprinters/field eventers!

    Ive got that sorted, my aunt is still the head coach in my local one, and I've talked to the NUIG club captain who said they have the hurdles and stuff for training, I'm just kind of looking for somewhere to start..like how fast to go back into it, what way people would recommend getting back into it :)

    A coach who can watch you train will have a much better idea what you need to work on, what you're ready for now, what your targets should be.
