Why do so many elite hurdlers look flawless in training — and unravel when speed truly arrives?

This episode of The Neural Arena exposes the real reason rhythm collapses in the 110m and 100m hurdles.
Not fear.
Not confidence.
Not technical failure.

But a neural classification error that appears only under maximal velocity.

In this episode, we break down:

• Why hurdle breakdowns usually occur after the first hurdle — but start before the gun

• The hidden neural difference between men’s 110m and women’s 100m hurdles

• Why technical drills and cues fail at race speed

• How the nervous system inserts protection when rhythm is not pre-installed

• Why elite hurdlers don’t “find rhythm” — they enter it

This is not a motivational episode.
It is a neural explanation of hurdling failure and mastery.

For hurdlers, coaches, and performance specialists who know something deeper is missing.
