Is there a better order to put event training in during the week? My two weekest events are the HJ and the PV. so is there a better time to practice them? Also what is a type of practice jump routine to work on? i am confused my current college coach all he has us do is do straddle jumps in the HJ or full jumps.

I would do the technical events when freshest.

Give us a brief outline of training schedule.

I do my technical training on Sunday, as it is the only day I can train longer than a hour. It also comes the day after my only full rest day.

No technical work yet. Still trying to get hips to fire correctly.

I think you can and probably should do some form of technical training every day. It might help to match up the events and days by their speed requirements. For example, throws, short approach jumps and the HJ (low velocity approach) might go on low CNS days and the other events go on speed / high CNS days.

here's my thoughts for what its worth or not

1) You've got a lot of total run volume crammed together in first three days. your wednesday work will probably suffer and if your theme is speed this week, your taking away from that. looking at it now, your theme looks to be some time of stamina.

2) if this is early GPP, move the tuesday to friday and take the friday out for now.

3) make tuesday/thursday a technical day in some way, even with some low level commanalities/tech training.

4) i've always thought that bounding complimented acceleration better, so bounding on wednesday to monday.

good luck.

HJ and Pole Vault needs to be done when your fresh and strong to get the most out of them being the weakest.
