Today went fairly well, I got a lot done. Of course everything didn’t go exactly according to plan but I still put up “acceptable” numbers which I can move on from proud of what I did today and sure that I put another cog in the wheel.
   Runways were slow, to be expected until I really start focusing on speed. My fastest runways were 1.15s over the last 10m which translates to 8.74m/s. I’m never going to be a speed jumper so if I can consistently get my last 10m speed to 9.00m/s+ this summer I will be absolutely ecstatic. My 16 step runway was feeling “off”, I wasn’t able to drive well because I was starting on my less coordinated leg. On my last runway I moved back to 17 steps and it felt a lot more natural. I ties my daily best on that run and I even felt like I slowed down a little before the board.
   Squats were alright, another 5lb pb. Just missed 360lb’ for three. I would have got it if I didn’t do 355lb’s beforehand. I’m going to go 350lb-360lb’s next week to get it.

The Good
  • Squat pb 
  •  Made a positive adjustment on the runway 
  •  I’m starting to get back into the triple jump rhythm now that a lot of the work is more specific 
The Bad 
  • Fastest runway was only 8.74m/s 
  •  Would have liked 360lb squat, clear favoritism of the right leg
