Today was the most focused I have been in a while. I started my warm-up with a different approach, to become as warm as possible instead of just going through a routine because it's something I do. I know that sounds stupid but it's amazing how much a little bit of a shift of focus can do.
I then did three runways with 3 minute recovery time between them. All three felt quick with the second feeling the best.
I then moved into standing, three step and five step jumps. They felt good, I really tried to focus on the arm drive of the hop phase and holding the step phase (which I'm still convinced has been the biggest problem over the last few weeks. I finished off with 2x4 jump squats at 135lb's and three sets at 155lb's.
The only negative today was I could feel my right ankle during the step-jump transition. It felt as if it was collapsing which could mean a lose in power. Hopefully icing it will be enough to get it to 100% shape by next Sunday. This meet matters...
