Elitetrack: Sport Training & Conditioning

it was real windy last season so alot of my jumps never counted i only count the legal ones..

Current PR’s: (wind legal)

13.87 meter triple jump
6.58 meter long jump
11.38 100 meter

im 6’2 170 (give/take 5 lbs)

first meet tomorrow (indoor) 60m and LJ

Training so far:

ive been doing a lot of weightroom work
my weightroom usually involves a squatting/DL movement, and olympic lift and a press and i usually superset either the squat/Dl or the OL with a plyometric activity like depthjumps or medicine ball throws SLJ or something.

as far as sprinting ive only been doing stuff below 50 meters so im not really ready for this meet at all

ive done a few long jump run thrus but nothing focused…

i sprained my ankle in december and was out of commision for about 2 months…im just glad to be back

meet results:

60 meter (ET)

i ran 7.39 in the semis and i stopped pumping my arms w/ 15 meters left because i was ahead by so much….(my coaches thought i coulda ran 7.1-7.0 if i woulda ran thru the tape)

the meet was a head of schedule so we ended up running the finals 15 minutes later which absolutely killed me because i havent had any time to train for anaeoribc endurance.

i ran 7.31 in the finals which was really disappointing

Long jump (4 jumps)

i faulted my first 3 jumps 2 of which were really far in the 7 meter range for sure….
my 4th jump was just to win…i jumped 6.75 meters which is a huge legal PR for me
it also broke our school record (dont laugh) and our city record (ok u can laugh now)

the one coach who used to jump last year (he jumped 7.80) was talking a lot to me afterwards…..he said i need to keep my hips taller throughout takeoff because im kind of hunched over and its making my jumps real flat. he also said my body is behind my takeoff leg as well….my consistance as the board isnt very good right now (3/4 faults) and my landing is horrible as the my finishing hitch leg is too lazy right now and i need to be quicker….

first meet of the year so im ok with everything

what are your weights PB, and training age?

i weigh 165-175
im 6’2 with fairely long arms

i bench 225 lbs
i squat over 300 lbs       (im not exactly sure because i havent maxed out in a while)
have never maxed out on cleans but im sure its around 90-100 kg

ive been training seriously for 2 years
(2 years ago i benched 150 and squatted 130…)

meet this wednesday (long/triple only)...weights have been good…

on saturday i did

3x3x50 meters
light pyos

bench (no spot)
1x210
6x180
1x215

i took minimal jumps of each event

jumped 6.32 in long jump faulted the meet record on 2nd and last attempt…

12.78 in triple jump didnt take my 2nd and 3rd jumps….

...our school doesnt have an actual track to jump off of we have rubber mats that are about 2-3 cm thick (extremeely painful for triple jumping)

its was pouring rain during the entire long jump competition and the wind changed directions all day…but more so from the north which made is freezing… 41 degrees out….

the motive of the day was injury prevention…

next meet is this saturday…...doin 4x1 coed, 4x1 boys, tj and lj

ITS SUPPOSED TO SNOW!!!!!!!!!

ARGHHHRGGGHHHHHRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!GHRGHR

hahahahaha suckers!!

so today i just did speed endurance (first one this year)
i did 3x150
one 60m

then medium squats
and romanian deadlifts

meet tomorrow…

doin the 100, LJ, and TJ

see what happens…the temperature around here has dropped dramatically and it will prolly rain…jeez

havent been doing that much tarining….last workout was friday,...(speed endurance) and then i visited u of tulsa for the weekend and got back last night at around 3AM so we’ll see what happens ill be fresh…but hopefully i run well

if i have the widn with me im gunna try and go full out in the heats for the 100 just to see what i can run fresh…

blah

pouring rain most of day
freezing cold as well….i guess it cant get any worse….

won both long and triple with crap jumps….ran 11.3 into a nasty headwind in the 100 and got 3rd:?:
in the 100 i ran good for about 75 meters (i stayed with the winner for 65 meters) and then i tried to force myself to catch up and tensed up…i was in lane one he was in lane 2 and the guy in the outside lane caught me at the tape i guess….never even saw him the whole race…...
i popped str8 up on the start too….oh well…

our 4x1 team got second….

meet for today was cencelled due to too low of temperatures….it was 40 degrees farenheit…but it dropped to under 30 when the north wind picked up and the freezing rain began…..

oh well…

meet on wednesday gunna do some block starts on saturday and thats it…maybe some weights..

meet today…

very nice weather..like 60-65 today (wow) real sunny too…just the wind was kinda cold and strong…

————————-

long jump jump 6.50 into a healthy headwind

very happy with that result….

triple jump OMG yall shouldve seen it….this dude pulled a half meter personal best out of his ass on his last jump ....passed me by like 5 cm…so then on my last jump i get JACKED and my hop and step were my best ever….only problem was i over rotated and for some reason i started to half as hitch on my jump phase….(im supposed to hang in the jump phase) this was bexcause i had SO MUCH hang time in my jump that i didnt know what to do…i ended up doing a somersault and nearly broke my neck my legs were every where and i rotated so much i landed chest first

when i got up my left foot was just in front of right foot cuz i landed on my knees…my left foot was marked at 14.15 and my right foot was on 13.69…

i was so impressed because i couldve gotten 60 more centimeters on that FRIGGIN JUMP…i rose to the challenege that the kid sent to me tho and im happy…

i just got to remember that i need to HANG and not get excited and start hitching my jump phase and you guess are gunna see some magic happen next week…..lol

I WILL TRY AND GET A VIDEO UP ON MY TRIPLE JUMP OF MY LAST JUMP

in our 4x1 i ran lead off and picked the stagger up on the first 2 kids….we got 3rd due to sloppy handoffs at the end…oh well

OKAY now time for the big show…....

we are starting our playoffs now…tomorrows the city meet and i have to break the long and triple jump record which i should have broke the latter last year.

my personal bests are all over the existing reocrds so all i ahve to do is get a personal best or near it to break them….

i do triple jump long jump and 4x1 tomorrow and 100 semis and finals on the wednesdaay following….
