Workout Planning - ideas on how to structure long & triple jump training for peak performance

In this video coach John Shepherd (www.johnshepher...) talks about how to structure training sessions to get the most out of your jumps and sprints training. He talks about the use of units of drills which are used in each of his sessions throughout the training year which focus on all the elements required for the jumps and sprints. This way as he indicates, more specific, but varied work can be achieved, and more parts of the performance jig-saw put together to bring about peak performance.

[@shanindtheeed]

Really good video, thanks.

[@adamleschinger6916]

Love this video!

[@mvpleague]

Could you possibly give us a sample cycle and walk us through the training inventory in the order it is implemented?

[@Johnshepherdtrackcoach]

I'll look into doing a video on this in the New Year!

[@judahdsouza9196]

Regarding weight training. For triple jumpers, (in the 13-14m range) is it more important to be building strength or power in the weight room ? And should the exercises have a controlled eccentric portion (DOMS not being a problem) before change to concentric or should it be a quick eccentric phase with a rapid shift to concentric to use the short stretch reflex? With proper technique of course.

How do you create a quality workout for returning triple Jumpers (29 years old) with limited space?(No access to Track)

How much time do you give your athletes off after the season ends and when they start back training what does that consist of?

[@Johnshepherdtrackcoach]

About 4 weeks, mid Sep to Oct mid... but the athletes need to keep in shape,, they will train once to twice a week, doing easy activities. Some play tennis, go for the odd run, do core etc. I ask them to come back to training in reasonable shape so we could hit the ground running I.e. do plyos in week one, accelerations etc. Being students, and working, i.e. not full time athletes, I think it's most important not to waste time and to maximise training. So I want to start back at a relatively high level so that we can quickly build. In the US with the longer season break for most student athletes I'd advise similar, although it does seem that US coaches seem to like greater volume compared to my approach for example... so from my experience they will often do more general work at the start of training to ready the athletes to train. Thanks for the q.

Love this video. Would love to see a DEXASCAN of sprinters in various age groups. I wonder if sprinting is good for bone density? I have not done barbell squats, only sprints, chinups and pushups and feel better than ever.

[@Johnshepherdtrackcoach]

Generally any load bearing or stressing exercise improves bone density... it’s specific to the activity... so rowers for example can display greater spinal bone density due to the nature of the rowing movement and the forces generated through the spine. Sprinters will have enhanced leg bone density throughout life due to the sprint action and overcoming around 5 times plus body weight when flat out. If they continue sprinting/running into older age then this density will be maintained and the loss of bone density with age off-set/reduced. Now if I recall correctly 80 percent of bone density is established around adolescence so it’s very important to be active when young - and as noted the good news is that it can be maintained throughout life by load bearing exercise. (There are differences relating to females and bone loss but it’ll take me a while to explain that!) Thanks for the comment and great you are feeling great!

ever studied triphasic training by cal dietz?

He likes it.
