Thanks for the advice Denis. Would you be doing higher volume running too? We have 2 sets of 8 200's this week and circuits. Our plyo work now is basically...
That is way too much running 6-8x150 is more than sufficient. You should have at least 1/week session of faster running 40m-60m Slow squats arent really...

Denis, thank you for stepping in on that outrageous running workout. At what speed have they been doing 2 sets of 8 x 200 and with what rest interval? What...
Just a question , what about someone who is training for a running event as well as high jumping? Such as an 800m . is it that you dont see that much distance...
Good point, John. I'ld even go further on this matter. How about athletes in decathlon or pentathlon ? Most of the athletes in my training group are...
The points are well-made but in answer to the first question I think the high jump is most compatible with the following events: hurdles, triple jump, 400...
Good questions and topic. Our high school meet season is 3 weeks away and the dance is starting on which athletes for which events. The head coach is a big...
I've been a multi-event athlete all of my high school career. My events are High jump, Triple jump and Discus. Strangely, high jump and discus go well...
when i plant my take off foot(left foot) and drive up my lead leg(right leg),it tends to stay in the same position even when iam over the bar,i try hard to...
That problem can come from focusing too much on driving and holding the knee up. It is a classix misunderstanding of what the free leg should be trying to do....

... Our club championships are in a few weeks time and most athletes are allowed to enter five events, with a maximum of three track or field. If I enter,...

Well Core stability exercises did wonders for my athletes, another drill u coulf impose while she's over the bar is to pull her head in the moment when mid...
I think Denis is right about other possible causes of taking the bar off with the heels, but I would add a couple of things. First, if everything else is right...
A jumper jumping 2.40m is indeed just as long in the top 1cm (or 5 or whatever) as a jumper jumping 1.40, that's correct. But they do not jump the same...

I am posting again about this subject because my new video page is nearly ready... Now i just want to build a table with translation (not the exactly word)...
This is the best I could do I could not find any accurate conversions online. This should at least help with the men's height's. Jamie Nieto 2.00 = 6'6 3/4 ...
You always have to round down... I get 2.19 = 7'2" 0 (or 1/8th but not 1/4th) Because conversion seems to be so difficult, maybe the US should go metric as...
What do you like to convert? The height in inches you jumped and how that height counts in international rankings? Or the reverse conversion: what metric...
Weia, I know these conversions like I know my own name. One will always err when utilizing a mathematical program to convert backwards and forwards between...
