  Components of the 400m hurdles
Hurdling with a right leg lead on a curve requires the athlete to move to the center of the lane approximately 4 to 5 strides prior to the hurdle and attack straight across the center of the hurdle.
The number of strides taken between hurdles by the sprint hurdler is 52% of the total number of strides taken during the entire race, whereas the strides taken between hurdles for a 400m hurdler, taking 15 strides between hurdles, represents approximately 75% of the total number of strides taken during the entire race.
A hurdle can be set on every second mark (17m) of the 100m hurdles to practice a 15-stride rhythm (using seven strides between hurdles) and a hurdle set on every second mark (16m) of the 9Om hurdles to practice a 14-stride rhythm (using six strides between hurdles).

 Bruin Great Kevin Young's 1992 World Record In The 400m Hurdles Named 22nd Top Moment In T & F Of Last 25 Years :: ...
In an electrifying performance that would have won the flat 400m title as recently as the 1956 Olympic Games in Melbourne, Young became the first man in history to shatter the 47-second barrier by winning the 1992 Olympic men's 400m hurdles gold medal in the astounding world record time of 46.78 seconds.
In using his unusual technique of switching between 12 and 13-stride intervals between hurdles, Young bettered the world record of 47.02 set by Edwin Moses in 1983 despite slamming the final hurdle and raising his arms in triumph prior to reaching the finish.
After winning the 400m hurdles at the 1993 USA Outdoor Championships, later that summer Young won the gold medal at the World Outdoor Championships in Stuttgart, Germany.
