MESSA Hurdle Timer and Race Pace Calculator

Time a hurdles race from the gun to the tape with one thumb. Press start on the gun, tap once as they land off each hurdle, stop at the line. Ten touchdown times captured while the race is still being run, with no video to sit through afterwards.

What you get

• The live timer. One button, big enough to hit without looking. Undo a bad tap, stop early if they pull up, and the times drop straight into your log ready to check and save.
• Target touchdown times. Enter a goal time over 400m or 300m hurdles and get the split you should be hitting at every hurdle, off standard touchdown charts.
• Training over racing. Lay a training rep across a race on the same chart, hurdle by hurdle. Where the two lines separate is what the next block has to fix.
• The numbers a coach reads. Halves split on distance, the differential as a share of the whole race, hurdle 4, and the run in from the last hurdle to the line.

Events covered

400m, 300m and 200m hurdles. Heights and spacing are set for you by event and gender, so a rep is recorded exactly rather than typed in.

Price

Free, and it stays free. The calculator needs no account at all. An account is only so your times are still there next week.
