break a leg
I am making my debut in the steeplechase on saturday and am quite worried about going flat on my face over it.
I have never jumped over a one in my life not even in training.
I'm not that fit either so i'l be knackered, will i make round in one piece?
I will be doing the steeplechase on saturday Bone were are you doing yours, you will be fine just remember dont slow coming into the barriers you need to keep your momentum going you'll be fineOriginally Posted by Bone

2K or 3 K? When I was a junior I ran a 2K off no steeplechase training and about 20mins practice over the barriers before hand - I found it reasonably easy. My first 3K as a senior in British League nearly killed me! I haven't run one since!
Bone you should be fine just remember to attack the barriers and not to slow down im running the steeple chase on Saturday and Saints Lad will be in the same race, I have only ever practiced once but i have raced once as well
Never done one or plan to! More likely to do a Fell Race
You'll never Walk Alone!
It not to bad doing one i think you should try them one time
Who are you racing for Bone?
I did the Northern Cup Final last year, 20 mins after running the 10k. Had planned to practice some barriers, but I had to pick up a medal, so didn't get the chance. First time over the barrier was in the race, was fine and a lot of fun, so don't worry.
When warming up & attempting a few barriers before the race don't be surprised if you find yourself running around/stopping at the barriers. You'll be fine when the race starts.
One other point, a steeplechase race is much more demanding than a flat race of equivalent distance, give yourself a couple of easyish laps to settle into it or you'll be dying over the last couple of laps.
Good luck.
Is it a Cheshire League meeting?
