Nice training hurdle for beginners
The hurdle works pretty well. The legs need to be re-tightend a bit after a day's use (allen wrench provided). But, the top bar definitely splits without an issue - this is great to build up confidence especially at starts when you want your runner to be going at full speed over that first hurdle. Note that understandably the joint at the top corners aren't foam; if you hit them, you'll knock the hurdle a bit. The hurdle is light (easy to carry), but will also fall over if you hit it right. The foam seems like it would shred - after one day's workout, you can see pretty clearly when it got spiked. Might have to get more foam wrap eventually. Feedback from my runner - it's a little visually weird, as typical hurdle bars are taller (longer) than what's on these.
