          I'm currently in GPP for jumps going 3 hard days per week.

          Next week i'm doing long jump in a meet on tuesday, but i want to stay on my M W F program. Would it be bad to continue on my training program and throw in maybe 3 or 4 full long jumps in a meet on a tuesday?  I havent been training specifically for the meet and I dont want to throw off my training…..

          Can I continue  my plan and do the long jump with no alterations?  Or, if some are needed just lower the volume Wednesday(I would rather not, unless I really feel it)?

          It shouldn't be a big deal as long as you keep the volumes in check on the other days. Personally, I think you'd be better off making Tuesday a hard day and either before or after the meet doing what you were planning to do on Wednesday and then switch what you were going to do on Tuesday to Wednesday. That way you go H-H-EZ-EZ-H rather than H-H-H-EZ-H.
