LONG JUMP

The start of the approach run should be marked and the athlete should commence the start from a standing start. Some athletes use a 'walk on start' or 'run on start' that will provide more initial speed but if not consistent will impact the accuracy of the approach run onto the take off board. The athlete begins the run with a marked forward lean to develop speed but before they reach the take off board, they should be upright. The athlete should be on the balls of the feet as in sprinting with a natural head position, the eyes focused beyond the pit and not at the take off board.

Accuracy of the approach run onto the take off board is established by:

1) Determine the take off foot
2) Stand with your back to the jumping pit and the heel of your non take off foot on the take off board scratch line
3) Run up the runway the required number of strides, say 19, and place a marker where the 19th stride falls.
4) Place the non take off foot on the marker and run back towards the board and take off. The coach should note where the 17th stride lands in relationship to the take off board.
5) If the foot is behind the take off board, say 20cm, then move the start marker 20cm forward. If the foot is beyond the take off board then move the marker back.
6) Repeat the run up and marker adjustment 4 or 5 times to establish a consistent approach run onto the take off board
7) Once achieved measure the distance accurately and record it for future use
8) It is important to bear in mind that a head or tail wind will affect the run up. A head wind may mean moving the marker slightly forward

View of proper Warm-Up, Stretching & Drill

(Warm-up jog)
Never start training without a 15 minute warm-up. Jog gently on the spot for five minutes to get your circulation going.This will increase the blood flow to your muscles, warming and relaxing them.

(Stretching)
Then stretch the major muscle groups to prepare them for more vigorous use. The following exercises are static stretches, so there should be no bouncing, no getting out of breath, no straining.Hold each position for 10 seconds, and make sure you feel the stretch in the correct muscles. Pay particular attention to your back and knees, since these are vulnerable to injury.

(Why Drills?)
To understand why drills are important lets go back to the crux of why we train so hard, quite simply put, it is to improve our performance i.e. to go faster, to get more speed. And in running there is a very simple formula for speed.

Speed = Stride Length x Stride Frequency

In this article there are four drills outlined, two that will primarily help with improving stride frequency and two that will help with your stride length. They will also help you improve your basic technique and maybe your style.

Comments regarding running drills
Personally I love drills and speed work, they provide variety and entertainment in a training schedule as well as giving you a different type of focus for part of a session. Try and get some friends together do them as a group along with your favourite interval session and have some fun. Generally speaking you should do your drills at the beginning of your session just after you have warmed up and are feeling nice and limber. The drills should not be so hard that you are tired for the rest of the workout, in fact if you do them right they should help you to make you feel nice an zippy for your speed work. Start off doing two repeats of each drill per session and work your way up to doing four repeats of each drill over a slightly longer distance. Remember that if you feel your form is going, shorten the repeat and jog back, recover and start again with good form. You only want to practice good technique.

How do some athletes make winning look so easy?

Some athletes seem to find winning at sports spectacularly easy. It certainly looks like that. But behind the smiles and medals there is always a great training program.
However, it takes a lot of work to just to discover what ’s actually worth your time researching! That time factor is what diverts so many potential winners from achieving their true performance.
So let’s get tough and honest and look at the facts (facts that some people will never accept). You haven’t the luxury of wasting month after month using the wrong training plan.

Here are some examples of articles from the current issue of the new-look Peak Performance.

1.High-frequency training: the long-lasting metabolic effects of exercise that you can use to optimize performance and recovery

2.Strength training: why youngsters should work out with weights

3.Exercise of the month: the standing machine calf raise

4.Nutrition: is calcium the new weight loss supplement?

5.Carb combo drink

6.Long slow runs

I have chosen the above subjects to analyze and pass on to you because each of them could have a significant impact on your training and performance in competition.
