Don't reach!

Should I focus on full run throughs like you suggest when it comes to coaching youth jumpers?

[@Johnshepherdtrackcoach]

CJB418 I'd say it would be a mainstay of training young jumpers. The run-up is obviously a fundamental of the long jump and it's a separate skill that needs to be leant so that it becomes habitual and the jumper learns their rhythm and develops spatial awareness too, so that, as they progress, lessen the chances of fouling. It's different a Though obviously related to sprinting. Thanks for the comment and good luck.

Is the penultimate step supposed to be short or long?

[@Johnshepherdtrackcoach]

Hi there, hope all is well! The last two steps are the shortest ones. Research data that I have indicates that there can be variation between jumps by the same jumper and the length of the last two strides but both are shorter than the other attack phase strides. I work on the basis of the penultimate being placed around 2m from the board, from a full run-up for women. You've given me food for thought about an actual measurement for the specific length of the penultimate and whether working on a specific length or 'pattern' here could have a benefit to the jumper. We have worked on the pen step position for the last couple of years (as much as the take-off/in combination with) and it seems to be paying dividends for most. The rhythm is a "da-da" (not even) one for the last two steps, you should feel that you are being pulled off the board and that your hips move quickly through the take-off if positioned correctly... Hope this helps

I am unable to jump more than 10 feet. when i focus on fast sprint i cant take off and sometimes i confused at the last 2 steps which resulted in 9-10 feet jump or less. I have to clear 13 feet long jump for my PET in 1 month, is 1 month enough to achieve 13 feet LJ. please guide me.

[@Fun_facts_Zzz]

Have you achieved?

[@ricardofrancois6779]

Wait 10 strides is a short approach? My entire run up in a meet is 16 steps is that too short?

[@Johnshepherdtrackcoach]

16 is at the bottom end of run-up length - 17-22-odd steps is the main length for LJ - TJ could be shorter. Whether a run on or standing start also has an effect... 16 with a run on would be similar to 19-20 steps. Much depends on the ability to accelerate. If you can get to optimum take-off speed quickly and controlled then you may be able to get away with a shorter run-up... however, even having said that, at 16, I feel that an extra two steps may be needed (or that jog on start). Progress back and do most of your jumps in training of of 12-14 and 16 steps... thanks for the comment

Hi, I have the speed all the way through the board, which is saving me at this moment. But I’m unable to bring my final last 2 steps down, as if my body is still not use to the speed I have as I have gotten faster. Wondering what exactly can I do so I can help get that penultimate step in, as I used to have the step but not the speed, a year ago.

[@Johnshepherdtrackcoach]

Hmm it’s always better to be faster than slower! One thing I always stress is to make sure your training is integrated - so, for example, when you improve your sprint speed, it’s not just that ie sprint speed, it has to be married to the jump speed and take-off speed... so make sure you do plenty of run-ups with and without take-offs... and also work on the set up of the jump on the penultimate step... to get you into the best position to apply speed and force to the take off... Basically you need to be able to get your jump ability up to your speed ability and if you work on those commensurately you’ll give yourself a good chance of getting speed and take-off and jump distance. Hope this helps and good luck
